Publisher's Summary

Random House presents the audiobook edition of The Crippled God: The Malazan Book of the Fallen 10 by Steven Erikson, read by Michael Page.

The Bonehunters are marching to Kolanse and to an unknown fate. Tormented and exhausted, they are an army on the brink of mutiny. But Adjunct Tavore will not relent. If she can hold her forces together, if the fragile alliances she has forged can survive and if it is within her power, one final act remains. For Tavore Paran means to challenge the gods. 

Ranged against Tavore and her allies are formidable foes. The Fokrul Assail are drawing upon a terrible power; their desire is to cleanse the world - to eradicate every civilisation, to annihilate every human - in order to begin anew. The Elder Gods, too, are seeking to return. And to do so, they will shatter the chains that bind a force of utter devastation and release her from her eternal prison. It seems that, once more, there will be dragons in the world. 

And in Kurald Galain, where the once-lost city of Kharkanas has been found, thousands have gathered upon the First Shore. Commanded by Yedan Derryg, they await the coming of the Tiste Liosan. Are they truly ready to die in the name of an empty city and a queen with no subjects? 

In every world there comes a time when choice is no longer an option - a moment when the soul is laid bare and there is nowhere left to turn. And when this last hard truth is faced, when compassion is a virtue on its knees, what is there left to do? Now that time is come - now is the moment to proclaim your defiance and make a stand....

And so begins the final cataclysmic chapter in Steven Erikson's extraordinary, genre-defining Malazan Book of the Fallen.

incredibly long, and meandering.

this book series has been an absolute slog. it started off incredibly interesting and engaging, but as the series went on, I quickly realised that although there are many intertwining stories, there are many, many, characters that pop up for entire books only to be dropped and never heard from again.

it often feels like the writer is trying to achieve a word count, with incredibly long passages and chapters that are spent on things that are simply totally inconsequential and almost always feel like a waste of time.

unfortunately, this all culminated for me at the end of this book where I just didn't care about anything. When there is enough written about things that don't matter - it becomes hard for me to determine what does matter, blending together into a bland soup that has some nice chunks in it, but is worse than it's parts.

frustrating, and I'm happy to walk away from this series.

Fantastic conclusion

It's a really great conclusion to the end of the series. There are so many layers to this series and this ties most of them together. definitely a series to read and then reread to find all of the hints and understand a lot kn hindsight that was confusing on a first read.

Great Ending to a series I loved

I think Steven got the ending perfect after reading all books until toll of the hounds and changing to audiobooks. For the last few, very happy with the voice performance and telling of the story.

Lost me

I do love this series, but it really lost me at the end. I just really found myself battling to keep my interest in this final book, whereas I was hooked on the earlier one. maybe I missed something, but I've read through the hardcopies before and found the same thing then.

The End of an Epic Tale.

Michael Page is amazing and pulls you straight into the world of war and betrayals.

I'm very sad to leave it behind me, but all things must end eventually.
