Malazan Book of the Fallen (03): Memories of Ice

The ravaged continent of Genabackis has given birth to a terrifying new empire, the Pannion Domin, seething across the land leaving a bloody trail. In its path stands an uneasy alliance of former enemies, but the ancient clans are gathering and dark forces are stirring.

Together with my colleague Jouke, I am reading the Malazan Book of the Fallen series. It’s high fantasy with a very large cast of characters and amazing ideas and concepts. This is the third book in the series and it deals with themes of eternity, forgiveness, war and empathy. I started this series because the author is an archaeologist. I am currently doing a Masters in archaeology, so it combines my two favorite things—archaeology and fantasy.
