Product Description
From Amazon
House of Chains follows several characters first encountered in Deadhouse Gates, the second book in the series, and the action runs at first parallel to and later after the events in the third book, Memories of Ice. Felisin, the girl who became Sha'ik, the avatar of the Whirlwind Goddess, is here with her sister Tavore, the Adjunct of the Empire. The narrative follows these two and the many characters caught in their wake as the Malazan army marches toward Raraku Desert and a tragic confrontation with the rebellion.
Steven Erikson is creating something special here: realistic, human characters living in a world so complex and rich in history that it rivals any other created in the literature of the fantastic. It's becoming clear that the rules and standards for what has previously been known as sword and sorcery (the term seems inadequate) are being rewritten with the appearance of each new volume in this magnificent fantasy series. --Greg L.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Awesome read,
By xteeve "xteeve" (Toronto) - See all my reviews
This review is from: House of Chains (Mazalan Book of the Fallen, Book 4) (Paperback)
Fascinating book.This is simply one of the two best series right now, if not the best. To give you an idea, I received the first four books as a present. and after a difficult and reluctant start of book one, I was gone. In two days of marathon reading, hardly stopping to eat or sleep -to say nothing of bathing - I finished book one, read book 2, 3, and 4. Amazing. high-fantasy as it's best. I'm even a little irritated when people compare it to G.R.R Martin or R.Jordan series. they are good, but the quality here is so much better that it's almost a work of art. If you like fantasy, do yourself a favour and read this series. My only regret is that I had to wait so long, when over there in britain they've been out forever.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent series,
By Jerry "a sci-fi/fantasy lover" (Macon, GA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: House of Chains (Mazalan Book of the Fallen, Book 4) (Paperback)
If you love fantasy, you'll really like this series. Start from the beginning and work your way to this one if you haven't. Each one builds upon its pedecessor and only gains momentum.**A book I would also recommend is The Unsuspecting Mage by Brian S. Pratt. This, the first installment of The Morcyth Saga is a great beginning for a new author. Battles, magic, gods, secret passages and intrigue, all the elements of a classic epic fantasy! Any fantasy reader will enjoy it
5.0 out of 5 stars
new setting, different perspective same incredible story,
By andrew (Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: House of Chains (Malazan Book 4) (Mass Market Paperback)
awesome. do yourself a favour and get into this series. Erickson will throw you for a loop every time. And he actually seems to be sticking with his publishing deadlines. A massive series filled with horror, brutality, darkness and war but also humour, faith, hope and awe. This is a great 4th book that leaves you dying for the 5th.
