About this listen

Random House presents the audiobook edition of Toll the Hounds: The Malazan Book of the Fallen 8 by Steven Erikson, read by Michael Page.

In Darujhistan, the saying goes that Love and Death shall arrive together, dancing...
It is summer and the heat is oppressive, yet the discomfiture of the small rotund man in the faded red waistcoat is not entirely due to the sun. Dire portents plague his nights and haunt the city's streets like fiends of shadow. Assassins skulk in alleyways but it seems the hunters have become the hunted. Hidden hands pluck the strings of tyranny like a fell chorus. Strangers have arrived, and while the bards sing their tragic tales, somewhere in the distance can be heard the baying of hounds. All is palpably not well. And in Black Coral too, ruled over by Anomander Rake Son of Darkness, something is afoot - memories of ancient crimes surface, clamouring for revenge, so it would seem that Love and Death are indeed about to make their entrance...
This is epic fantasy at its most imaginative, storytelling at its most exciting.

There have been ups and downs across this series, some books being more of a wade rather than an keen interest to know what happens next. This however is not one of those. You want to know what is going to happen, who is going to do what, trying to guess intrigue where you can and also trying not to get to attached to characters (especially since whiskeyjack). The brings together many characters that had previously gone on their own journeys and has you rooting for all of them.

One of the better ones in the series

as with all of Eriksons works I loved it. I'll admit I struggled in the beginning but the pay off at the end was so worth it. if you are struggling with this please try and push through I promise its worth it.

Outstanding.

I love Michael page as a narrator, having chosen books just because he narrates

the plot thickens

Story is brilliant as ever, would 100% agree with the other reviews, narration is great, and Michael does an amazing job. I felt this one as my title says is the Empire Strikes Back of the series, with bad things happening to good people. Tho Steven isn’t as brutal to our hearts as Joe Abercrombie is and some of the deaths I knew were coming, some were a total shock and still left me aghast! If you are this far into the series, well you are in for the long haul anyway and this review will be of little use, if you are new? Go away and start on the first book! You won’t be disappointed, just strap yourselves in, becuase it’s one hell of a rise!

This series is magnetic and magnificent; dark fantasy, darker characters, yet full of some kind of hope for humanity...
Brilliant book.
