A new, terrifying empire, the Pannion Dominium, was born on the torn continent of Ganabakis. A mad seer sends endless armies of fanatics to destroy the surrounding world. They have lost all instinct for self-preservation and eat the bodies of their enemies. It is no wonder, therefore, that behind these troops only burning grounds, suffering and piles of human bodies remain. Uncertain allies: Dujek the One-Armed's pack and Whiskeyjack's Bridge Burners try to forget past differences and save the city of Capustan. Beyond these events, not only the undead ranks of the T'lan Imass have risen in answer to the call, but something far darker that threatens the very essence of this world. So this was a ride! Steven Erikson composes a magnificent mosaic of stories, where every action provokes a reaction, and where every effect has its cause. The author describes the siege of Capustan with a great sense of visualization (I have never read such a raw description of war atrocities, rape, cannibalism, war chaos, confusion and fanaticism elsewhere) Really unbelievably raw and harsh. Alternating between past and present is an excellent idea and gives the reader a glimpse of the past. The opening chapter regarding the events of the fallen Kallor is absolutely phenomenal for me personally. I agree with the opinion that one of the most significant advantages of the story are the characters depicted. No one is black and white, the author lets them make mistakes, doubt, hesitate, act according to their own discretion, and that makes it really believable. The third part maintains an incredible narrative pace throughout, lacking dead spots. The additional part, where the historian Kalous appeared in the narrative pointing to Coltain's Dog Chain, must capture the heart of every reader. Memories of Ice is a story full of atrocities, heroism, love, cynicism and self-sacrifice for the greater good. Steven Erikson once again proved that quality dark fantasy is not dead! schovat popis
