    I think ICE confirmed in a podcast with Iskar Jarak and another guy from the Ten Very Big Books pocasts that it is now Paths plural due to it now encompassing Tayschrenn and others moving in that direction, not just Kellanved and Dancer.

    I was also waiting for the original inhabitants to have a wider meaning. My theory, with all this mention of dark hair, was that they would be some sort of Tiste offshoot that were Maels favourite, and after they lost their land to invaders Mael gave them a realm and they became the Storm Riders.



    This is great, wish he'd done that.

    Not every mystery of the world needs to be explored and explained, but I'd rather finally know what the Stormriders are about than this new retcon KCCM mountain.

    Ch 24 - end.

    Wait... no more Feral?



    Do you think you are going to do a summary post of your thoughts or does this sort of sum it up? I must admit I was left somewhat cold but would be interested to read what you and others have to say.

    Agree with everything you said pretty much. The book felt wierd, and I'd say one of the main themes of the story is 'repetition or delay'. Not just Gianna getting kidnapped a third time but also sailing this way and that after maguffins. Tays waking up on a cot with a headache a billion times. Going into the keep, then out again, then back in. The Guard deciding to go North about 6 times. Gianna again, in the later phase of her story, can't stop going to sleep before doing something important the next day (trust me, keep an eye out on reread). It felt like he was struggling to make the timelines match up.

    Bugg was fun, Tays develoment a bit simple but okay, and seeing all these characters cross paths is enticing in itself but can I honestly say there were any properly cool moments? One or two maybe but I'm not sure I felt anything.

    Also if i had a nickel for every Malazan book that contained the looming threat of a giant wave...I'd have two nickels. But it's weird that it happened twice!

    I will say Kellanved was very Kellanved-y in this and I love that. When these prequel books started I wasn't sure we needed to see how Darth Vader became Darth Vader, so to speak, as that kind of thing rarely satisfies. But seeing Kel, Dancer and Dassem in their prime is great and I want it.

    Cannot wait for you to finish this. I'm strugling with what to think about some of these storylines so I'm keen to see somebody else's thoughts.

    if it is...thank you! I wonder about it too. Sure they are shapeshifters and whatnot but there is definitely a period of time where humans dont exist but they are almost certainly assumed to have human features (bipedal, etc). maybe theyre just Original Tiste Shape
