In Northern Genabackis, a raiding party of savage tribal warriors descends from the mountains into the southern flatlands. Their intention is to wreak havoc amongst the despised lowlanders, but for the one named Karsa Orlong, it marks the beginning of what will prove to be an extraordinary destiny.
Some years later, it is the aftermath of the Chain of Dogs. Tavore, the Adjunct to the Empress, has arrived in the last remaining Malazan stronghold of Seven Cities. New to command, she must hone 12,000 soldiers, mostly raw recruits but for a handful of veterans of Coltaine's legendary march, into a force capable of challenging the massed hordes of Sha'ik's Whirlwind, who lie in wait in the heart of the Holy Desert.
But waiting is never easy. The seer's warlords are locked into a power struggle that threatens the very soul of the rebellion, while Sha'ik herself suffers, haunted by the knowledge of her nemesis: her own sister, Tavore.
And so begins this awesome chapter in Steven Erikson's acclaimed Malazan Book of the Fallen.

What would have made House of Chains better?
They should have kept Ralph Lister as the narrator. The first three books were incredible on audio.Michael Page does have a great voice, unfortunately every single character, male and female, sound the roughly the same. The Malazan books have so many characters that each having their own uniq voice is critical.
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
I honestly can't say as I wasn't able to follow much of the book so the ending was full of gaps.Would you be willing to try another one of Michael Page’s performances?
No, especially not a series as complex as the Malazon series.Any additional comments?
I really wish I could justify getting the remainder of the series on Audible, but I can't with Michael Page as the reader. I guess I'll get the Kindle versions at some point when I have time to read such lengthy books.Really really disappointed!
Narrator was so poor I Couldn't Follow the Story

the narration was great overall. I wasn't really bothered by the voice changes it was to be expected. I'm a bit annoyed however that many characters or concepts were pronounced so differently it really stole away my focus.
all the expose on Karsa Orlong was the best part of this book in my opinion It reinvigorated me evey time his exploits were mentioned. that stated this was my least favorite malazan book so far.. not because it was bad just that I feel as though it was full of things that will matter later. like stocking up on a currency I cannot yet spend. I will certainly be reading the next in the series hoping to cash in on some of it.
