Finished House of Chains last night.
I must say, it was another quality book from Erikson, although Deadhouse Gates remains my favorite so far.
I feel that Erikson took a step away from the style that he used for the first three books. He started off the first quarter or so in a fashion that we have not seen from him yet, and I (pending a short reread of the ending) feel that he ended the book a little different with regards to where he packed in all of the action and resolution.
I think I can officially say that I have picked my favorite character in the series so far. Kalam Mekhar.
Like I said before, I will take a break from Erikson for a bit, and then return once I have had time to stretch my brain on some other authors.
