Our view
With “The Crippled God”, the ten-volume “Malazan Book of the Fallen” ends, and some who finish it speak of a rare and moving experience. That praise belongs to the whole series as much as to this book, a last act of more than nine hundred pages in which nothing is meant for newcomers. Some also warn that it is not for everyone.
