I loved it what an awesome read. but now I need to buy 9 more books

I can see how someone might enjoy this. The pacing is unbearable. The pacing is killing me. The narrator is good, but his accent and inflection alongside the recording sounds make this something I can't finish. I wish I could get a refund.

Steven Erickson is the best I have ever read

What a PHENOMENAL book!! The narrator did a great job making me believe it was different characters and the book itself kept me wondering what was going to happen next! I look forward to reading/listening to this series, as I WILL finish it! Great job Mr. Erikson and the narrator!

Worth the time and patience. Slow to start but the wait was well worth the build-up. I'm more than just interested in this series and (due partially to the wonderful voice of the reader) will finish.

If you are ready for an epic fantasy this is it! Take your time and yes rewind if needed, it’s worth it’ - Erikson is building a world and complex characters. Lister does a fantastic job of narrating, love when he does a ‘laugh or snicker’ gives the scene a realistic feel. Downloading book 2 now. Last thought - stick with the book you will be rewarded!

This is the first book in the most EPIC fantasy series I’ve ever read. For so many reasons it takes the cake. Just know that it is somewhat confusing at first and kind of feels like it starts in the middle of a book and you have no idea what’s going on. Just keep going, as everything begins to unfold it will all begin to tie together. Keep in mind this is a massive ten book series so there’s much for the author to set the scene for.

Good story, great characters, some characters endings in this book made no sense or where left in Cliff hangers. I hope to see them in the other books or to be explained later

Great narrator. Fantastic world-building and attention to detail in the story. Found it slightly hard-going at times due to a lack of context and too many characters. However, the complexity is a real plus, despite some periods of not knowing exactly what's happening. Looking forward to reading more.

I enjoyed this book immensely! And I also really enjoyed the narating! Well done!

Very detailed. Close attention required. Well written. Well spoken.

this book is awesome!! and they keep getting better and better. this series is my all time favorite

There is a lot going on in this book. Although I haven't got through the series, my understanding is that it is all just background for the remainder of the series. I enjoyed this book, I just think it was a lot to take in and felt the need to "rewind" a lot to understand the significance of what is happening. it all seems important. On to the next book!!!!

Hard book to get into but the rest of the series is AMAZING! And this book makes a lot of sense once you have read the next 2. Very much worth making it through this one.

2 hours into the read and I find it extremely hard to follow the story and paint a picture of the world in my head. There is zero character introductions and it seems to be jumping all over the place. Hard to find motivation to keep reading.

Had to come back to this because they ruined the entire series by switching narrators after memories of ice. What a piss poor decision, you can’t get 120 hours into characters with certain voice sounds and pronouncements and then switch it…

Malazan! Such a great series.

The way Lister reads Tattersail makes me want to claw my ears off.

The narrator is one of the best I have heard. I enjoyed the book and am looking forward to the 2nd one....

Steve Erikson is an amazing author! Also, Ralph Lister did an amazing job narrating this audio book.
