House of Chains

I'm really enjoying this series with the twist and turns as well as how the author has set up the books. I never feel like I'm jumping around between different scenes like I do in other books. The story is being told in different places for each book I've read maybe at the same time, maybe back in time, or maybe just a bit before or after. Either way I don't feel jolted.


There were a couple of scenes that were just poetic to me: Felisin and Gamet dying the way they did. It was just really simple and eloquent, especially Gamet's death.

I'm so, so happy that the Bridgeburners Ascended maybe they will restore some order to the ascendancy “clan”. I love how my favorite characters are woven through the book and how I meet new favorite characters. In this case, welcome back Fiddler and thank you for the complexed yet simple character of Karsa Orlong. I love how much he grew during the book but still remained true to him self. I might start quoting him in real life....”Too many words!”

I just love how Erikson weaves his world and how interconnected it all is. I would have never guessed that that Onrack was the reason for the Goddess and her madness leading to a need for total and complete destruction. They were never spoken of together until the last. Welcome back Raraku!!

Looking forward to the next book and further exploration of this world.
