Nevertheless, I strongly recommend Eriksen. <br /><br />FWIW, I <a href="http://elflands2ndcousin.com/2011/03/02/review-the-crippled-god-malazan-book-of-the-fallen-book-10-by-steven-erikson/" rel="nofollow">reviewed</a> the last book and did a bit of a series wrap-up that might give a little more insight into the series overall.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
