Product Description

The small island of Malaz and its city gave the great empire its name, but now it is little more than a sleepy, backwater port. Tonight, however, things are different. Tonight the city is on edge, a hive of hurried, sometimes violent activity; its citizens bustle about, barring doors, shuttering windows, avoiding any stranger’s stare. Because tonight there is to be a convergence, the once-in-a-generation appearance of a Shadow Moon – an occasion that threatens the good people of Malaz with demon hounds and other, darker things … It was also prophesied that this night would witness the return of Emperor Kellanved, and there are those prepared to do anything to prevent this happening. As factions within the greater Empire draw up battle lines over the imperial throne, the Shadow Moon summons a far more ancient and potent presence for an all-out assault upon the island. Witnessing these cataclysmic events are Kiska, a young girl who yearns to flee the constraints of the city, and Temper, a grizzled, battle-weary veteran who seeks simply to escape his past. Each is to play a part in a conflict that will not only determine the fate of Malaz City, but also of the world beyond … Drawing on events touched on in the prologue of Steven Erikson’s landmark fantasy Gardens of the Moon, Night of Knives is a momentous chapter in the unfolding story of the extraordinarily imagined world of Malaz.

4.0étoiles sur 5 On Par with Erikson's Takes, Fév 17 2008
Par Colin Saraka "Desafio" (Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Night of Knives: a Novel of the Malazan Empire (Paperback)
This review is tailored to those who have read least one or two of Erikson's book in the same series/world.

Esslemont is a different kind of writer. If you like Erikson for his very unique style of narration and very wide scope, you might be put off at first by Esslemont's more traditional approach. Esslemont deals with only a few characters and with a much smaller scope of events. For all of that, Esslemont has some strong characterization, and the story he writes is a very interesting addition to the backstory of the Malaz world. He is a very solid writer, and the story might be worth 5 stars if it was a standalone novel. It loses 0.5 for the relative shortness of the story and 0.5 for that inevitable comparison to Erikson, who is perhaps the greatest fantasy novelist of our age.

The authors have stated that this is probably the most insight we will gain into Dassem Ultor's last stand, and the events that led to the Ascension of Cotillion and Shadowthrone. It's juicy material, and it leaves you wanting more information, just like Erikson so often does.

This is one that you can't miss if you're curious about the Malaz world. It provides a lot of information that you have been wanting to know in a very good story, and even hints at some places that the saga could go. Pick it up; it's definitely worth it.

4.0étoiles sur 5 A refreshing change for the Malazan Empire, Déc 22 2007
Par David Waterman "SugawaraNoMichizane" (Canada/Korea/Japan(itvaries)) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Night of Knives: a Novel of the Malazan Empire (Paperback)
I have been reading fantasy novels for years, and after all this time, the Malazan series is one of the few to actually continue to capture my interest. This novel, penned under a new name, is actually very refreshing and revitalizing to read after 7 novels of Steven Erikson. That being said, 'Night of Knives' feels a little strange to read, and I felt the characters were just typical fantasy cliche stock-characters. There's Kiska, the one who wants more in life than just her quaint surroundings, and then Temper, the 'mysterious past' veteran who we discover to be 'more than meets the eye'.

I finished this book fairly quickly though, and I was glad for the change in narrative. I was starting to get sick of Erikson's style, though Esslemont does ring familiar tones now and again. The best part of the entire book was reading about how the events concerning Dassem Ultor and Y'Ghatan really occurred. That was the true gem of this novel for me.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Another Malazan Empire story...another gem!, Sep 30 2007
Par R. Nicholson - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Night of Knives: a Novel of the Malazan Empire (Paperback)
Another interesting Malazan story! This novel takes place in the city of Malaz; the time frame is in the early days of the ascent of the Malazan empire.

This novel is extremely well written, captivating and well paced. Like Erikson, Esslemont has that intangible skill with prose that draws you into the tale, almost making you feel like your right there. I had difficultly putting this book down...it just got better and better.

There is also an excellent map of Malaz City that helps sort out some of the geographic twists and turns that occur in the telling of this tale.

Finally...a wonderful addition to the ongoing story of the Malazan Empire. Anyone who has enjoyed Steven Erikson's books will want to read the newest edition of this series. 5 Stars. (more if I could)

R.Nicholson

P.S.

I've been a Steven Erikson fan since the first of the 'Malazan Book of the Fallen' series was published. I find it hard to believe that another writer could pen a Malazan tale as well as the original author, but it has actually happened. Apparently Erikson and Esslemont are 'co-founders' of the Malazan world, and both have agreed to and have welcomed each others contributions.
