In Northern Genabackis, before the events recounted in Gardens of the Moon, a raiding party of savage tribal warriors descend from the mountains into the flat lands. For one among them, Karsa Orlong, it marks the beginning of what will prove an extraordinary destiny.
Some years later, it is the aftermath of the Chain of Dogs. Coltaine is dead. And now the untried new Adjunct, Tavore, must urgently raise an army able to withstand the forces of the Sha'ik's Whirlwind that are massing in Raraku, the few remaining veterans from Coltaine's march her only hope....
So begins the epic new novel of war, intrigue, magic and betrayal from a writer now acknowledged as one of the most original, imaginative and exciting storytellers in modern fantasy.

Amazing read, this series keeps getting better.
This book had some challenges ahead of it, with a new narrator and having to follow the amazing previous title Memories of Ice you'd think it a difficult task, you'd be wrong, This book is an awesome follow-up to the events of book two as well as provided some small follow-up to the previous title while continuing to expand the world and characters and the more I discover the more I want. if you're this far into the series have no fear and dive into this book!

Do not be put off by the new reader
At first I was hesitant in accepting the new reader and the voices changing for characters I loved.
But to be fair, most of the books in the series contain completely new characters. I have listened to 2 books now with this reader and there are more new characters than old by far. And most of them are as memorable as before.
Give the new reader a chance, the books are phenomenal.

Don’t Despair: Performance Like A Fine Wine
This is my second listen of the series: Malazan Book of the Fallen. For those new to the series and listening as I did, unfortunately there is a new performer here. Please, DON’T DESPAIR!
This second listen for me has instilled such feelings of nostalgia - that teary smile of happy memories of an age past of a home long departed, wiped away by Michael Page’s outstanding performance.
Whilst I missed Ralph Lister’s Kruppe, a performance as incomparable as Kruppe himself, Michael Page does a tremendous job and is as good as the previous performer.
It took me a third of this book to bury my outrageous indignation and release my unwarranted contempt for Michael Page. Like a fine wine, his performance improved book after book to settle on the palate as a pleasing, homely and unforgettable sensation.

a change in direction for Erikson
I didn't like the new narrator as much as the old one.
I also found that while Erikson's superb writing skills were on display once again that I found myself feeling less connection to these characters and events than in previous Malazan books. There was also, in all honesty, way too much rape for me to handle.

Great story, interesting voices
The new narrator is different, you have to get used to the new character voices and pronunciation... although voice wise - I didn't realise that Adventure Time's Lemon Grab was in the book.. once you hear it, you cannot unhear 🤣

sub par recording
I haven't got very far into the book.
The audio is of pretty low quality.

Excellent (and unfairly-maligned!) reading
I have listened to the 1st 4 of these now. I agree with the other reviews in that the reader of the 1st 3 was the superior (marginally) when it came to vocal characterisations...however, I loved every minute of this reader's rich and powerful, Olivier-esque style, and his use of pause and emphasis was SUPERIOR to that of the previous reader!!! Highly recommended!!!
