Our view
“The Bonehunters” is one of the fullest volumes of Steven Erikson’s “Malazan Book of the Fallen”, crowded with gods, war and burning cities. Readers praise how much happens, and some single out its many viewpoints and how well its big scenes pay off; for others, over nine hundred pages are too long to hold their attention. As the sixth book, continuing directly from the fourth, it is strictly for those deep in the series.
