House of Chains

Another fantastic installment of The Malazan Book of the Fallen. I did not like quite as much as Memories of Ice, but it's not far behind.

A thought on Karsa Orlong: I had heard of him before I read the book, and had heard from several people for whom he was a favourite character. I did not understand why at the beginning of the book. He seemed fairly despicable. However, his journey was fascinating, and he learned a lot.

”When I began this journey, I was young. I believed in one thing. I believed in glory. I know now, ‘Siballe that glory is nothing. Nothing. This is what I now understand.”
“What else do you now understand, Karsa Orlong?”
“Not much. Just one other thing. The same cannot be said for mercy.”
