Our view
“Reaper’s Gale” is a long, dark war novel that gathers up the threads of two earlier Malazan volumes. Seventh of ten books, it continues directly from both “Midnight Tides” and “The Bonehunters” and assumes much prior reading. Soldiers, gods and magic share the stage, and its reflections on power and the violence behind it give the battles weight. Its nine hundred-plus pages are written for readers already deep in the series.
