About this listen

Random House presents the audiobook edition of Memories of Ice: Malazan Book of the Fallen 3 by Steven Erikson, read by Ralph Lister.

The ravaged continent of Genabackis has given birth to a terrifying new empire: the Pannion Domin. Like a fanatical tide of corrupted blood, it seethes across the land, devouring all who fail to heed the Word of its elusive prophet, the Pannion Seer. In its path stands an uneasy alliance: Dujek Onearm's Host and the Bridgeburners ­ each now outlawed by the Empress ­ alongside their enemies of old including the grim forces of Warlord Caladan Brood, Anomander Rake, Son of Darkness, and his Tiste Andii, and the Rhivi people of the Plains.
But more ancient clans too are gathering. As if in answer to some primal summons, the massed ranks of the undead T'lan Imass have risen. For it would seem something altogether darker and more malign threatens the very substance of this world. The Warrens are poisoned and rumours abound of the Crippled God, now unchained and intent on a terrible revenge...

Marking the return of many favourite characters from GARDENS OF THE MOON and introducing a host of remarkable new players, MEMORIES OF ICE is a thrilling new chapter in Erikson's magnificent epic fantasy and another triumph of storytelling.

Critic Reviews

Arguably the best fantasy series ever written. This is of course subject to personal opinion . . . but few can deny that the quality and ambition of the ten books that make up The Malazan Book of the Fallen are unmatched within the genre.
Reading The Malazan Book of the Fallen . . . is the most masterful piece of fiction I have ever read. It has single-handedly changed everything we thought we knew about fantasy literature and redefined what is possible.
Erikson's magnum opus, The Malazan Book of the Fallen, sits in pole position as the very best and most ambitious epic fantasy saga ever written.
Homeric in scope and vision...Read and expect to be overpowered, not only by a story that never fails to thrill and entertain, but by a saga that lives up to its name, both intellectually and in its dramatic, visually rich and lavish storytelling
Erikson afflicts me with awe...vast in scope, almost frighteningly fecund in imagination, and rich in sympathy, his work does something that only the rarest of books can manage: it alters the reader's perceptions of reality (Stephen R. Donaldson)
Rare is the writer who so fluidly combines a sense of mythic power and depth of world with fully realized characters and thrilling action, but Steven Erikson manages it spectacularly (Michael A. Stackpole)

I will never forgiven Erikson for page 815. Or Chapter 14. This book broke me. I actually teared up. Twice! Fucking brutal read.
Stella world building and character work as always. Loved the way the plot came full circle.

Heartbreak all round

What magnificent boots these are, so full of magic, war, hardship and yes love. These descriptive novels draw you into the land, the empires, the gods and the awful horrors of war. This book for me was quite emotional, particularly regarding two of the main characters. Absolute humility and self sacrifice. I love all the characters and have come to feel I know each personally and so feel their loss. I cannot recommend highly enough. For me these books and their story are greater than, dare I say it, Lord of The Rings. I have given 5 star reviews before but in truth these books far exceed any I have read before. The narration is beyond superb. With so many characters I don’t know how he manages but is amazing. Thank you, I have had many hours of wonderful listening with many more to come.

Brilliant

Ralph Lister (narrator of books 1-3) provides the voice that interested me in the audiobooks. I have nothing against the next gentleman, but I signed up/paid-up for Lister. Well, it is back to reading through the rest, for me!

I just wish there was more of this narrator.

As per the subject title, it is a good book but I found that the pacing was a bit off compared to the previous two books and I had periods where I stopped reading as a result. I'll be taking a break from this series as a result....

very good but I got bored

Made me love the series
