Review of ‘Assail’ by Ian C. Esslemont

Assail was amazing and an awesome assaail for the Crimson Guard plot. Skilfully the author builds suspense and intensity in an epic fantasy that twists and turns as the adventurers face ghosts, giants, a cursed sea, a monster of bones, a barrier of ice and demons.

Fisher comes to the land of Assail with an Tiste Andii who suffers from loss of memory, vague references in the beginning and all throughout the story allow you to think about just who this "unknown" Tiste Andii is.

Which means revisiting my thoughts on Assail.

Adventurers set out seeking their fortunes, crossing dangerous seas, fighting hostile inhabitants, and terrifying creatures only to be met by the swords of Northerners threatened by the encroachment on their land.

He isnt Steven Erikson, and it doesn't make sense to expect him to write the same way. Orman is a tribesman and now when I am writing this, his youthfully character and his quest closely reminds me of another warrior whom we got to meet in House of Chains. All in all, this is Esslemont's best novel and great addition to the Malazan world.

The plotline exploring Silverfox and the T'lan Imass is by far the least exploited. Oh, there are things we find out in the Esslemont books that are good to know: Also venturing north is said to be a mighty champion, a man who once fought for the Malazans, the bearer of a sword that slays gods: Hence this nonchalant bravado in criticizing Ian and Steven here, I guess.
