A Ā song Ā about Ā Darujhistan. Ā Give Ā us Ā more!
āA man who stirs awake the serpent is a man without fear. A man without fear has forgotten the rules of life.ā
ā Toll the Hounds by Steven Erikson
One of the most hated character first time, seriously.Ā My first impression was feeling like I read about the biggest MS ever, written by obsessed Forgotten Realms fan.
But then I changed my mind.Ā
That ending.Ā
Also, fuck my winter exams.Ā

"Apologies with caveats are worthless, you know."
-Sister Spite, Toll the Hounds
Steven Erikson's insanity!
SPOILERS Ā Ā SPOILERS Ā Ā SPOILERS Ā SPOILERS
REAPERāS Ā GALE Ā SPOILERS Ā Ā / Ā Ā TOLL Ā THE Ā HOUNDS Ā SPOILERS
BEWARE Ā SPOILERS Ā Ā BEWARE Ā SPOILERS Letās Ā focus Ā on Ā two Ā scenes. Ā The Ā first Ā is Ā from Ā Reaperās Ā Gale Ā and Ā the Ā secondās from Ā Toll Ā the Ā Hounds. 1)Reaperās Ā Galeā>Seren Ā Pedacās Ā chitchat Ā with Ā Mockra. Ā A Ā character Ā has Ā an Ā interesting Ā conversation Ā with Ā a Ā warren. Ā With Ā a Ā magic Ā system. Ā Not Ā with Ā an Ā animal, Ā or Ā a Ā tree, Ā or Ā a Ā bottle Ā of Ā beer. Ā She Ā conversates Ā with Ā a Ā damnā¦I Ā donāt Ā knowā¦energy? Ā Magical Ā world Ā of Ā peoplesā Ā thoughts? Ā Her Ā own Ā mind? And Ā itās Ā not Ā her Ā imagination. Ā Chapters Ā later Ā she Ā mind-beats Ā Clip Ā into Ā a Ā bloody Ā pulp. Ā Who Ā else Ā can Ā imagine,think, Ā write Ā and Ā execute Ā in Ā paper Ā such Ā a Ā conversation? Ā Itās Ā like Ā a Ā Jedi Ā speaking Ā with Ā the Ā Force Ā (not Ā just Ā sensing Ā things Ā and Ā stuff, Ā but Ā actually Ā talk Ā with Ā about Ā the Ā contents Ā of Ā a Ā magazine). Ā Itās Ā like Ā a Ā Dragonlance Ā mage Ā speaks Ā with Ā the Ā moon Ā from Ā which Ā it Ā draws Ā power. Is Ā there Ā anything Ā like Ā it Ā in Ā some Ā other Ā book?Ā You Ā have Ā to Ā be Ā extremely Ā open-minded Ā (for Ā a Ā start) Ā in Ā order Ā to Ā come Ā up Ā with Ā something Ā like Ā that. 2)Toll Ā the Ā Houndsā>Kadaspala'a Ā ritual. Ā Ā Ā The Ā Tiste Ā Andiiās Ā spell Ā isnāt Ā just Ā the Ā muttering Ā of Ā some Ā words Ā and Ā the Ā waving Ā of Ā his Ā hands Ā in Ā a Ā specific Ā manner. Ā That Ā blind Ā lunatic Ā had Ā inscribed Ā upon Ā flesh Ā the Ā name Ā of Ā every Ā god, Ā godling, Ā ascendant, Ā spirit Ā that Ā ever Ā existed. Ā We Ā speak Ā of Ā billions Ā of Ā names Ā here. Ā And Ā not Ā only Ā that. Ā He Ā had Ā created Ā words Ā which Ā consist Ā of Ā words, Ā letters Ā that Ā their Ā parts Ā are Ā not Ā straight Ā lines Ā but Ā other Ā words Ā and Ā so Ā on. Ā The Ā scope Ā is Ā beyond Ā imagination. This Ā is Ā not Ā mere Ā spell-creation. Ā This Ā extends Ā to Ā origins-of-languages, Ā philosophy, Ā arithmology, Ā evolution Ā and Ā so Ā on. The Ā above Ā examples Ā show Ā what Ā a Ā fantasy Ā fiction Ā book/story Ā is Ā capable Ā of. The Ā possibilities Ā are Ā endless, Ā restrained Ā only Ā by Ā imagination. Ā And Ā me Ā Erikson proves Ā time Ā and Ā again Ā that Ā his Ā imagination Ā is Ā maddeningly Ā vast. Ā Thank Ā God!
The end of Toll the Hounds, from the point where Hood manifests in Darujhistan, itās just like [incoherent screaming].
Also, maybe the most chaotic convergence so far? Iām not sure I can even remember everything that crashed into Darujhistan and I just finished the bloody book. Letās see,
Hounds of Shadow
Hounds of Light
Lady Envy & Sister Spite
Hood
Karsa Orlong
Dassem Ultor
Anomander Rake
a fucking random-ass bear god (???)
Tulas Shorn
Shadowthrone & Cotillion (though they didnāt participate much)
Caladan Brood (as above)
and also nearby,
High King Kallor
Spinnock Durav
Korlat & Orfantal
Honestly? Darujhistan is lucky to be still standing⦠in a manner of speaking. (I mean, a lot of it isnāt, but, you know.)

very happy with how this turned out!

Okay but Anomander Rake though.
-> If anyoneĀ else had carried Dragnipur, theyād be curled up on the floor crying. He stands straight. Unbowed.
-> Heās the only one who could beat Draconus and take the sword from him (though I mean, thereās a lot of speculation about Draconus, but anyways. Thatās beside the point).
-> The one Tiste Andii who decides to get his people out of Kharkanas and Kurald Galain, because he actually knows that stuff needs to change; stagnation is never a good thing.
-> He carried the burden of his peopleās faith in him for centuries. Without complaint.
-> He wanted to stop Whiskeyjack from killing the Mothers of the Dead Seed out ofĀ compassion. Because he didnāt want him to carry the guilt of killing in cold blood.
-> He engineered the whole scenario with getting himself killed in order to destroy Dragnipur and get Mother Dark to turn her face back to her children.
-> Heās got a dragon lover. I mean, heck yes.
-> He isĀ a dragon. Soletaken, but still got blood of the Eleint. And he doesnāt let it control him.
And this is seriously just barely brushing the surface of this guy.
Let me just add -and this is still me-
-> Dude was a golden-skinned blond or something back before the split of light and dark and stuff. Turns out black-skinned with quicksilver hair afterwards and looks no less bloody attractive. Yes this is superficial, no I donāt care. Guyās a freaking supermodel and he knows it.
I often see people criticise the way romantic relationships are done in Malazan, but somehow Iāve always enjoyed most of them. I wish I could properly articulate why⦠but Iāll try.
Keep reading

Anomander Rake is a fucking Cinnamon Roll and that makes this all so much harder.
Iām done Toll the Hounds and can I get just one bookĀ where the end doesnāt make me die a little, too?
Rage and tell me then
Not every tale is a gift
When anguish gives the knife
One more twist
And blood is thinned by tears
Cry out the injustice
Not every tale is a gift
In a world harsh with strife
Leaving us bereft
Deeds paling through the years
And I will meet your eye
Neither flinching nor shy
As I fold death inside life
And face you down
With a host of mortal fears
And I will say then
Every tale is a gift
And the scars borne by us both
Are easily missed
In the distance between us
Bardās Curse
Fisher kel Tath
