This was not the strongest book in the Malazan series, though it could also be that my interrupting it several times to read other, shorter books hurt my enjoyment of it. In particular, there were several confusing plot lines in an already huge book with too large of cast of characters. However, the endings for both the 3rd and 4th parts were especially epic and thoroughly enjoyable. It doesn't feel as complete as the others, and the author acknowledges that. It clearly was meant as the first part of the finale. Hence, I'm looking forward to the final book as Erikson really knows how to end his books with a blast.
