![]() ![]() Darujhistan is still bubbling away in the background ready to be the subject of another book, its main cast including Kallor getting minor cameos. What’s left when the dust settles? As anticipated Karsa is still kicking around, yet to fulfil his character arc - he does get a nice legend building cameo in The Crippled God though. I liked the series ending epilogue that symmetrically closes the series as it began (in a self-aware way). ![]() What he does deliver is emotionally satisfying character endings for most of the major characters still left alive (and even some that are dead, or sort of dead). He doesn’t try to wrap everything up in a neat bow I’d say about half the mysteries and sub plots raised over the course of the book are still left floating by the end of The Crippled God. ![]() Depending on your viewpoint Erikson either starts to get a little tropey with himself by the end (the endless, no hoper march springs to mind), or carefully pulls together the themes of the whole series to create an emotionally satisfying climax. Massive spoilers follow with wild abandon. ![]()
