I agree with an earlier post by Stonemaybe. I have to say that, though I am an incredible fan of Erikson, Toll the Hounds was not that good. I felt so dissapointed about so much. Every plot line in the book either ended up seeming pointless, boring, or biult up and then flopped over to die. Especial...

Yes, but he started out in Kruppes dream and needed a blood sacfrifice before he physically manifest himself. My point is: without Kruppe K'rul would still be essentially powerless and out the mix. Kruppe is pretty weird and my guess is that he has been around a lot longer than he lets on. Though I'...

Wow I don't remember that.
Still, I think all of Kruppe's 'power' is from is utter geniousness (probably not a word :p). Though Quick, I'm fairly sure, is one of his closest competitors.

Well, yes. Anyone Quick can't figure out probably is something serious. Kruppe is something serious, but not exactly powerful (well in the raw sense of the word)

But what do you mean by cheating?

That's arguable amongst fans, but it is definitely in the top three.
For me it's most certainly the best book. I don't know why, it just is.

Accueillir Yurikae! Je sais un petit français, mais pas beaucoup. Cela a été une longue période depuis que j'ai utilisé chacun. Votre pays est beau. J'espère que vous avez un temps agréable ici sur les forum. Je suis nouvel aussi, mais pour l'instant chacun semble agréable.


Did that make sense?

It was Trull being scalped and what not in the Nascent by Rhulad and his posse.

This confused me a bit at first, but aparantly most of the events in MT occured quite awhile before HoC.

The thing is, she isn't the "mother" of humanity. Though I'm sure she helped. It was the Imass that never made it to the ritual that are responsible. They eventually turned into many different races such as the barghast, Trell, etc. After hundreds of thousands of years...POOF! You get huma...

Thanks for the heads up Avatar.
I'll be trying to finish the Covenant series as fast as I can but my schedule might not allow it.

They really are great, seriously epic in every sense of the word. They are incredibly deep in scope, and never take things too lightly! There is almost no such thing as an unimportant event in that series. (well kinda) :) ...but please, most people have questions and are especially confused (yet inc...

Jenn and I were chatting, and we were discussing Kruppe's nature. He's powerful enough to be a god, for sure. My argument against it, however, is that K'rul doesn't seem to know he's one. At least there's no hint that he knows it in their conversations. But if he's not , then what the hell is he?! ...

Yeah you did.
But thanks, I'll go check it out. I'm still getting my 'new forum' legs and am not great at navigating yet.

Hello everyone! I'm Nequam. I'm a newbie to this series, and am in the middle of Illearth War at the moment. (loved the first one to a great extent!!!) This site was referenced to me through another forum for Steven Erikson's A Tale of the Malazan Book of Fallen . (my favorite writer...but now very,...

The movie thing being dead in the water, what about a Land-based video game? Tons of possibilities. I'm not a big gamer but my son is. His perennial favorites are the Morrowind games and especially with the Oblivion incarnation, I look at the graphics and see the Land. It just makes me think what a...

Hmm. I'm not sure I like the idea of a movie personally. I think it will ruin my perception of many places and peoples and I'm just not sure how close you really can be without having a film that is way too long. Something will have to be cut out or changed. I'd just rather keep them books myself.

I saw all six books at a Barnes and Noble recently in paperback. Also there was a special running in the Science Fiction Book Club recently. JD Yeah same here. In fact, every book store I've been to has had at least some of the first and second chronicles and they all had the Runes of Earth. I'm ne...
