Well, just finished The Crippled God, very good. Sad that there won't be more.
Some things,
Oh yes, these might be spoilers,
Where is Leoman of the Flails? Queen of Dreams? L'oric and Osseric? Gothos? Silverfox? Onrack?
Where did Kilava go after about halfway thought?
I've been wanting the death of Errastus for a few years now.
That whole train of kids? The Snake, with Held, Rutt and Bidalle? Never cared about them.
