Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The ravaged continent of Genabackis has given birth to a terrifying new empire: the Pannion Domin. Like a tide of corrupted blood, it seethes across the land, devouring all. In its path stands an uneasy alliance: Onearm's army and Whiskeyjack's Bridgeburners alongside their enemies of old--the forces of the Warlord Caladan Brood, Anomander Rake and his Tiste Andii mages, and the Rhivi people of the plains.

But ancient undead clans are also gathering; the T'lan Imass have risen. For it would seem something altogether darker and more malign threatens this world. Rumors abound that the Crippled God is now unchained and intent on a terrible revenge.

Marking the return of many characters from Gardens of the Moon and introducing a host of remarkable new players, Memories of Ice is both a momentous new chapter in Steven Erikson's magnificent epic fantasy and a triumph of storytelling.

Review:

Erikson ranks near the top of the epic fantasy pantheon.

Like the rest of this series, "Memories of Ice" is epic in scope, but it surpasses its predecessors in the area of character development. I connected much more with the struggles of these characters as they literally evolved throughout the book. Highly recommended for fans of intricately built worlds with multiple plotlines. Not recommended for fans of fantasy that prefer books that follow a few main characters in a very linear fashion through an adventure. Erikson makes you work, but you love him for it.
