Publisher's summary

Return to the turbulent history of what would become the Malazan Empire....

After the disappointments in Li Heng, Dancer and Kellanved wash up on a small insignificant island named Malaz. Immediately, of course, Kellanved plans to take it over. To do so they join forces with a small band of Napans who have fled their home. However, Kellanved is soon distracted by a strange and dangerous ancient structure. Back in Li Heng, Dassem, now the proclaimed Sword of Hood, finds himself being blamed for a plague which leads him to a crisis of faith - and searching for answers.

During all this, the neighboring island of Nap threatens war and allies are beginning to wonder about Kellanved's sanity. Dancer now faces a hard choice: should he give up on his partnership? Especially when his friend's obsession with shadows and ancient artifacts brings the both of them alarmingly close to death and destruction. After all, who in his right mind would actually wish to enter the Deadhouse?

Better than first book

I would say that I enjoyed this book more than the first one in the series. My only issue with this book was the recording, I think the audio mixer could have done a better job, there were times when it sounded like the book skipped so I thought I has accidentally pushed the skip button so would rewind only to find out that it was the audio recording changing. Besides that I greatly enjoyed listening to this book and am looking forward to find out what happens in the next book.

Lots of loose ends to tie up

I enjoyed the story, but struggled a bit to figure who the characters were. lots of back and forth. Finally near the end some things became more clear. Still a rollicking tale, good story and interesting characters.

typical Malazan greatness

Everything you expect from a Malazan book. Can't wait for the third book to see what happens next.

This is a first listen but second time through

I still love it. Kellenved and Dancer are some of my favorite characters, in all forms.

Great book, great narration

This is another great entry in the Malazan series. The narration is superb, and really fills in questions from early in the Malazan series. A must read /listen for fans!
