reposting cos old thread and forgot pic anyway

I got around to finishing this finally.
My first attempt was sometime last year, right after finishing all the malazan books then fall of darkness. I only got about 300 pages in though.

I started from the begining and maybe due to nostalgia I stuck with it this time and was glad I did.

Its honestly a really sad book, I don't usually get emotional when reading but I did with this, maybe to due to it being a prequel and knowing how a lot of these characters end up or maybe it was due to unusual amount of philosophizing and inner monologuing that you get from so many characters, you feel closer to them.

I really did like it, in the end. It was a good read. When I reread the start I remembered feeling out of place with all the pages of not a lot happening, but it does pick up.
