### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Stunning !!
  

*by G***R on Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2021*

I bought this some time ago, when it was first published. Now that books 2 and 3 were in hand, I decided to read this book ‘again’ as a refresher, only to realize I never read it before.What an amazing treat it turned out to be! This book rivals the original ten books by SE, almost like Midnight Tides without the ponderous/tragic parts. Being a backstory has its constraints but this book masterfully circumvents these constraints without spoilers or repetition. The improvement in writing style is remarkable; the book flows without any hiccups, there is not a single boring section and all the characters, not just the two main scoundrels, are well fleshed out. And Dancer’s POV was hilarious, done far better than I thought possible given the grim characterization in the “main” story arc.This book was jaw dropping, really didn’t expect it to be this good. People who have read all the other Malazan books will have plenty to fondly reminisce but for those lucky bastards who have never read them, this can be a standalone book/series or a great start to this story without significant spoilers.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Enjoyable and easy to read
  

*by J***S on Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2020*

I have read a couple of the original Malazan books but not the bulk, and I found this to be a well-written and enjoyable book. The story has enough twists and turns to keep you interested and the writing itself is engaging and creative enough to keep you moving. There were a couple of places where I felt the character's actions were slightly outside of their motivations but that didn't happen enough to make me frustrated. The ending didn't quite blow me away but as it's the first in a trilogy that can come with the territory. Happy to move on to the next book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars
