Toll the Hounds

”There is no struggle too vast, no odds too overwhelming, for even should we fail - should we fall - we will know that we have lived.” Anomander Rake

I am very happy I gave this series another shot, it is so good! This one is quite different in some ways from many of the others. There is much less military campaign and more following other characters and problems, some ‘normal' people and some of the rich and powerful.

There is lots of death, of characters both old and new - enough to break your heart. It is very well-written and I found lots of quotes that spoke to me.

Of course it's also a book with a lot of Kruppe and Iskaral Pust, and so you will find yourself reading a sentence like this: “The gate creaked open, inviting invitation and so invited Kruppe invited himself in.”
