The eighth book in Erikson's extraordinary, acclaimed and bestselling fantasy sequence.It is said that Hood waits at the end of every plot, every scheme, each grandiose ambition. But this time it is different: this time the Lord of Death is there at the beginning...Darujhistan swelters in the summer heat and seethes with portents, rumours and whispers. Strangers have arrived, a murderer is abroad, past-tyrannies are stirring and assassins seem to be targeting the owners of K'rul's Bar.

Review of 'Toll the hounds' on 'Goodreads'

No rating

Made it to Chapter 10 and stopped. I didn't have the patience to keep on going on the hope that the story would get better. The time between the great moments dragged on and I found myself just not caring. Seven months of my year was put in to reading this series, so I gave it an effort, but at this book I stopped.

Review of 'Toll the Hounds (Malazan Book of the Fallen, #8)' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

This book was good, though it took me quite a while to finish. Most of the characters are old friends now whose stories we know well. The plot, while somewhat rambling and meandering, is cool and ties up neatly. We see some amazing events that I will not tell so as not to spoil the story. Overall, it's another fine addition to the Malazan universe and does feel like it's starting to wrap up.
