Description

Enter the New York Times bestselling Malazan universe with this prequel trilogy

Steven Erikson returns to the Malazan world with the second novel in a dark and revelatory new epic fantasy trilogy, one that takes place a millennium before the events in his New York Times bestselling Malazan Book of the Fallen.

It's a conflicted time in Kurald Galain, the realm of Darkness, where Mother Dark reigns. But this ancient land was once home to many a power...and even death is not quite eternal. The commoners' great hero, Vatha Urusander, is being promoted by his followers to take Mother Dark's hand in marriage, but her Consort, Lord Draconus, stands in the way of such ambitions. The impending clash sends fissures throughout the realm. As rumors of civil war burn through the masses, an ancient power emerges from the long dead seas. Caught in the middle of it all are the First Sons of Darkness, Anomander, Andarist, and Silchas Ruin of the Purake Hold....

Good book

I liked the build up to the final battle and the little revenge scenes every now and again.

Great story, terrible pronunciation

Ty-stee for Tiste? Pronouncing the H in Jaghut? This is brutal to listen to, really takes away from the listening experience. Barnaby Edwards is absolutely awful at narrating.

Too Much Subjective Commentary

There is potentially plenty of thought-provoking adrenaline-driven action in this Malazan world entry: rapes, murders, sorcerous combat, pitched battles, and confrontations among Tiste, Jaghut, Thelomen, Soultaken/Divers, Dragons/Eleint, and Elder Gods/Azathenai. As is typical for Steven Erikson - these are cleverly plotted, paced beautifully, loaded with both heartrending pathos & sardonic humor, and delivered with mind's-eye vivid description.
Unfortunately, most of the book deals with characters making observations and discussing how the various events might affect society and history.

'Fall Of Light' comes across as a series of academic discussions among poets and philosophers (punctuated by cinematic violence and pithy repartee).

As to presentation: Barnaby Edwards was a "defensible" choice of reader from Brilliance Audio Inc. His diction, timbre, cadence, and timing are professional - and his evident maintained interest while reading some genuinely tedious stretches of text is impressive. Unfortunately, Edwards tends to overdramatics at times, and a couple of characters from his repertoire sound straight-up cartoonish. Overall, the listening experience for this recording is "adequate".

In toto, this audiobook merits a mere 5.5/10-stars. Unless you're absolutely in love with the metaphysical/ethereal elements of Erikson's reality, stick to the 'Book Of The Fallen' series (in fact, just reading it again would be a better way to spend your time - I've read it four times and I promise you.. there is stuff there that you never noticed).

[ATTN PRODUCERS: An appended PDF with a map of Kurald Galain and a dramatis personae would be incredibly useful for this sweeping epic with dozens of characters]
