The Malazan Fallen discussion

Discuss

Epilogue sets a lot of things up.

1. Fishing boat pulls up a man, take me to Unta, have to assume that's Greymane? Already?

2. Where the hell are Kiska and Leoman?

3. Warran was Shadowthrone, I had considered him briefly and dismissed him. Well done.

4. Kyle heading back to the title of book 6, Assail. I'm assuming we won't see him again until then. Interesting since he's been the contiguous character.

5. This was really well done:

Shifting, panting, his foot numb and almost useless, Suth tried to bring the Stormguard’s back to Faro. Ipshank yelled then, next to him, ‘Rillish!’ Suth snapped a quick glance to the cliff edge. The Fist, his hands on the shoulders of the girl before him, was slowly leaning as if drunk. His eyes rolled up white and he tottered backwards, his hands slipping from the girl’s shoulders. He disappeared over the edge.

I was shocked to see him walking down the road. In the great Malazan tradition he drown!

6. Skinner and the chest of power. Interesting to see if that comes up in DOD or wait until OST.

I kinda assumed #1 was Rillish and then it was just revealed later on the in the chapter, since he had fallen into the sea.

Great point! That makes much more sense.

I think Greymane is locked in place as the eternal guardian or some such title. Just felt a little lack lustre when he met his fate. Like oh did that just happen?
