Esslemont|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1327981918s/458394.jpg|446887], this book was another great view into the Malazan Empire. I love the way the characters from the previous book are appearing again, and I absolutely love the way some other characters from the "main" Series make an appearence, too. I can't go into much details, to avoid spoilers, but oh my god I love the wickans! Additionally, the book also provided a much needed view into the Crimson Guard, and although those parts of the story weren't always the best, I still enjoyed reading them. My problems with the book boil down to the problems I have had with every single on of the books: I sometimes can't keep up with the amount of characters, especially if they all have pretty similar names. Again, Esslemont has managed to give each important character a special trait that makes them recognizable (For example, hating horses), and that helps a lot. But still, if you only read 50 pages a day and do it while you are tires, it's probably your own fault if you can't keep up. Rating? Well, I was about to give 4 1/2 stars again, and usually I round them down to four. But screw that. I hereby add all the half stars I could never give all the other books and pile them on this one. I enjoyed the book, even with all the small flaws, and what more can you ask? (  ) malexmave | Oct 3, 2019 |
 Return of the Crimson Guard had the feel of an author that has just leaped headlong into a raging current known as the Malazan Empire. It's a bumpy ride one filled with crests and troughs, but in the end it's well worth it.
The return of the mercenary company, the Crimson Guard, could not have come at a worse time for a Malazan Empire exhausted by warfare and weakened by betrayals and rivalries. Indeed, there are those who wonder whether the Empress Laseen might not be losing her grip on power as she faces increasing unrest as conquered kingdoms and principalities sense freedom once more. nbsp; Into the seething cauldron of Quon Tali--the Empire's heartland--marches the Guard. With their return comes the memory of the Empire--and yet all is not well with the Guard itself. Elements within its elite, the Avowed, have set their sights on far greater power. There are ancient entities who also seek to further their own arcane ends. And what of the swordsman called Traveller who, with his companion Ereko, has gone in search of a confrontation from which none have ever returned? nbsp; As the Guard prepares to wage war, so Laseen's own generals and mages, the 'Old Hands', grow impatient at what they see as her mismanagement of the Empire. But could Laseen have outwitted them all? Could she be using the uprisings to draw out and finally eliminate these last irksome survivors from the days of her illustrious predecesor, Kellanved?
