In this episode, we dive into the opening chapters of The Bonehunters, the sixth installment in Malazan Book of the Fallen by Steven Erikson. Covering the prologue through Chapter 2, we unpack a dense and chaotic start that reminds us just how wild this series can get.From the eerie, spider-infested streets of Kartool to the unsettling rituals of the Nameless Ones, the episode explores the darker tone and shifting stakes that define this point in the series. We break down the chilling release of Dejim Nebrahl, speculate on the motives of the Nameless Ones, and question whether they're agents of balance—or something far more dangerous.We also spend time with standout character introductions and returns, including the unforgettable Hellian (who somehow steals every scene), the mysterious Barathol Mekhar, and a surprisingly emotional look at Apsalar's current state. Along the way, we discuss how The Bonehunters begins to pull together threads from across the series, signaling a turning point where everything starts to converge.If you're reading along, next episode will cover Chapters 3 and 4—so get ready, because things are only getting more intense from here.

In this episode of Page Burners, we wrap up our discussion of Night of Knives by Ian C. Esslemont, covering Chapters 4, 5, and the epilogue—and there's a lot to unpack.From the mysterious Stormriders to the shadowy aftermath of Kellenved and Dancer's ascension, we dive into what wasn't shown just as much as what was. Does the book's decision to keep major events off-page strengthen its mythic tone, or leave the story feeling incomplete?We spend time breaking down Kiska and Temper as our POV characters—whether their arcs land emotionally, and how they function within the larger Malazan Book of the Fallen universe. We also explore the shifting portrayal of characters like Tayschrenn, the lingering mystery of the Stormriders, and the role of ordinary people caught in world-changing events.Along the way, we debate expectations vs execution, the strengths and weaknesses of Esslemont's storytelling, and whether Night of Knives truly works as a standalone—or feels more like a missing piece of a much larger puzzle.If you've ever wondered what really happened that night… you're not alone.Next Episode: We begin The Bonehunters by Steven Erikson, reading through Chapter 2.

Buy the book at https://ko-fi.com/s/1626376343 The gods have abandoned the universe. Only the armies of heaven stand between freedom and annihilation — and something ancient is moving the pieces. In the vast celestial empire of Indra, three warrior companions carry the weight of an unravelling world. Tejas — a Gandharva Major whose faith has curdled into fury, haunted by a guilt he cannot name and a past he cannot outrun. Shreya — an Apsara Captain who has clawed every inch of her rank from a command structure determined to keep her beneath it, fighting a war on two fronts — against her enemies, and against her own army's prejudice. Balveer — a Yaksha warrior of devastating strength, carrying a grief decades old and a debt of vengeance that no amnesty has settled. Against them: the fanatical Danava hordes of the dark wizard Chatur Jagan, the genocidal ambitions of the Asura emperor Ahiravan, and something far older and far worse than either — a being that predates the gods themselves, who has been watching, waiting, and arranging every conflict like moves on a board only it can see. Dev/Asur — War of the Heavens is an epic military fantasy rooted in the mythology of ancient India — a world of divine weapons, celestial politics, demonic armies, and soldiers who are heartbreakingly, defiantly human. Perfect for fans of Steven Erikson's Malazan Book of the Fallen — with its vast cosmology, brutal warfare, and soldiers who matter as much as gods. Readers of Conn Iggulden's battlefield intensity and Brandon Sanderson's intricate mythological world-building will find themselves immediately at home. This is Indian mythology reimagined as military epic. Gods who fail their people. Empires built on the bodies of the loyal. A conspiracy that spans dimensions. And three soldiers who refused to stop fighting even when the heavens went silent. The great game has begun. The gods are not coming. The stormfront is.

Some books don't just sit on your shelf… they judge you.In today's episode of Fantasy for the Ages, Jim and Zach confess the most intimidating fantasy, sci-fi, and horror books they still haven't read — even though they really want to.We're talking about the massive, the dense, the legendary, and the “I'll get to it someday…” reads that every SFF fan knows all too well.From sprawling epics like The Wheel of Time to notoriously complex reads like The Malazan Book of the Fallen, and even all-time classics like Dune — these are the books that feel less like a casual read… and more like a full-on commitment.Along the way, we talk about:• Why some books feel so intimidating to start• Whether the hype actually makes it harder to dive in• Which ones we might finally read soon• And which ones might stay on the shelf just a little longer…If you've ever looked at a giant fantasy series or dense sci-fi classic and thought, “Yeah… not yet,” this episode is for you.⸻

In this episode of Page Burners, the crew continues their journey through Midnight Tides, Book Five of Malazan Book of the Fallen by Steven Erikson, diving deep into the chaos and revelations of the late-book chapters as the Letherii–Edur conflict erupts into full war.The discussion explores the sudden devastation unleashed by Letherii sorcery, wiping out entire villages and throwing the Edur world into upheaval. The hosts unpack the emotional weight of Buruk's tragic storyline and Seren Pedac's complicated reaction to his death, debating whether Erikson's “fog of war” storytelling heightens the tension or obscures the emotional impact.From there, the conversation branches into some of the book's biggest mysteries. What is the Empty Hold, and why might Seren Pedac be tied to its power? Who are the mysterious “Mistresses,” and how does the awakening of Death in Lether connect to the shifting metaphysical balance of the world?The crew also examines the arrival of the Crimson Guard and the enigmatic Iron Bars, whose appearance raises new questions about Lether's place in the broader Malazan world.Meanwhile, the discussion turns toward Trull Sengar and the Edur war campaign, touching on the strange presence of the Jheck, the implications of a Tiste Edur with Andii traits, and the broader question of how disconnected the Edur may have become from their own origins.Finally, the hosts dive into one of the novel's most bizarre and fascinating threads: Udinaas' journey into a strange pocket realm inhabited by ghostly T'lan Imass, the shocking revelation of his son's existence, and the tangled manipulations of the dragon-blooded powers moving behind the scenes.As always, theories fly, timelines get debated, and the group wrestles with the sprawling mythology that makes Malazan one of fantasy's most ambitious series.Send us a message (I'm not able to reply)Support the showPage Chewing Blog Page Chewing Forum Film Chewing PodcastSpeculative Speculations Podcast Support the podcast via PayPal Support the show by using our Amazon Affiliate linkJoin Riverside.fm Co-Hosts: Jarrod Varsha Chris Jose Carl D.
