Brief Summary House of Chains by Steven Erikson

The rest of the story involves the culmination of the war between the Apocalypse of Sha’ik and the Malazan Empire introduced in Deadhouse Gates. That book was largely taken up by a nightmarish, Bataan-to-the-nth-power death march called the Chain of Dogs, and reading that book often makes you feel like you’re part of it. In House of Chains, the story, to Erikson’s credit, is much more fluid. The work he has poured into building Karsa Orlong’s character, who has taken the name Toblakai and is now part of Sha’ik’s camp, means we get better work on many of the other characters as well. Adjunct Tavore has come to the Seven Cities subcontinent with a mandate to take the war directly to Sha’ik, holed up in the desert of Raraku behind the Whirlwind, a swirling, sorcerous wall of sand. Not only are Tavore’s armies a bunch of pitiful, inexperienced raw recruits, she also still doesn’t know that Sha’ik is none other than her sister, Felisin, whom she arranged to be banished to a bleak and wretched penal mining colony. (Felisin’s escape from said colony was a major thread in Deadhouse.) It turns out Tavore was acting, not out of cruelty or betrayal, but a desire to protect Felisin from the violent culling of the nobility taking place in Malaz City.
