Dust of Dreams

Malazan Book of the Fallen, Book 9

By: Steven Erikson

Narrated by: Michael Page

On the Letherii continent the exiled Malazan army commanded by Adjunct Tavore begins its march into the eastern Wastelands, to fight for an unknown cause against an enemy it has never seen.

The fate awaiting the Bonehunters is one no soldier can prepare for, and one no mortal soul can withstand - the foe is uncertainty and the only weapon worth wielding is stubborn courage. In war everyone loses, and this brutal truth can be found in the eyes of every soldier in every world.

Destinies are never simple. Truths are neither clear nor sharp. The Tales of the Malazan Book of the Fallen are drawing to a close in a distant place, beneath indifferent skies, as the last great army of the Malazan Empire seeks a final battle in the name of redemption. Final questions remain to be answered: can one's deeds be heroic when no one is there to see it? Can that which is unwitnessed forever change the world? The answers await the Bonehunters, beyond the Wastelands....

This Epic Crushes

I have read and or listened most of the epic fantasy series to be written in the last twenty years and this is the only one I have listened to twice.(at book 9). I am thankful for this series.

winding it all together

amazing story, pieces all coming together. looking forward to crippled God. highly recommend this series.

Not the best Malazan book. Still excellent fantasy

Bogged down by exposition in many parts, especially early on. Some threads (the Barghast, for example) don't tie in as neatly as all threads in prior books have, so they feel more like filler and not like the intricate tapestry the rest of the series has been. Best narration in the series so far by Paige.

Another masterpiece

A continuation of this absolutely magnificent story. If you have made it this far, congratulations. You are in for a treat. Loved it from start to finish.

One of the best in the series

This will be classic literature for many generations. Some of the characters are similar personalities but the performance and breadth of topic is breath taking. Awesome books.
