About this listen

Random House presents the audiobook edition of Memories of Ice: Malazan Book of the Fallen 3 by Steven Erikson, read by Ralph Lister.

The ravaged continent of Genabackis has given birth to a terrifying new empire: the Pannion Domin. Like a fanatical tide of corrupted blood, it seethes across the land, devouring all who fail to heed the Word of its elusive prophet, the Pannion Seer. In its path stands an uneasy alliance: Dujek Onearm's Host and the Bridgeburners ­ each now outlawed by the Empress ­ alongside their enemies of old including the grim forces of Warlord Caladan Brood, Anomander Rake, Son of Darkness, and his Tiste Andii, and the Rhivi people of the Plains.
But more ancient clans too are gathering. As if in answer to some primal summons, the massed ranks of the undead T'lan Imass have risen. For it would seem something altogether darker and more malign threatens the very substance of this world. The Warrens are poisoned and rumours abound of the Crippled God, now unchained and intent on a terrible revenge...

Marking the return of many favourite characters from GARDENS OF THE MOON and introducing a host of remarkable new players, MEMORIES OF ICE is a thrilling new chapter in Erikson's magnificent epic fantasy and another triumph of storytelling.

Brilliant

What magnificent boots these are, so full of magic, war, hardship and yes love. These descriptive novels draw you into the land, the empires, the gods and the awful horrors of war. This book for me was quite emotional, particularly regarding two of the main characters. Absolute humility and self sacrifice. I love all the characters and have come to feel I know each personally and so feel their loss. I cannot recommend highly enough. For me these books and their story are greater than, dare I say it, Lord of The Rings. I have given 5 star reviews before but in truth these books far exceed any I have read before. The narration is beyond superb. With so many characters I don’t know how he manages but is amazing. Thank you, I have had many hours of wonderful listening with many more to come.

absolutely, heartbreakingly beautiful book

I have read The Wheel of Time and Most of Sanderson's Cosmere works and many of the books within have had some amazing moments.

But nothing in them has been as gut-punching as the 3rd "book" within this novel. it had me at the edge of my seat and even teary eyed for longer than I thought I book could, absolutely brilliant book.

Heartbreak all round

I will never forgiven Erikson for page 815. Or Chapter 14. This book broke me. I actually teared up. Twice! Fucking brutal read.
Stella world building and character work as always. Loved the way the plot came full circle.

I just wish there was more of this narrator.

Ralph Lister (narrator of books 1-3) provides the voice that interested me in the audiobooks. I have nothing against the next gentleman, but I signed up/paid-up for Lister. Well, it is back to reading through the rest, for me!

very good but I got bored

As per the subject title, it is a good book but I found that the pacing was a bit off compared to the previous two books and I had periods where I stopped reading as a result. I'll be taking a break from this series as a result....

How did I not know of this series?

Malazan has me clinging for dear life as I race through these grand, human, impactful stories. Through a world that feels impossibly large, mysterious and authentic.
Meeting & loving characters who defy the easy moralism of ‘good vs bad’; each & every one hinting at some deep backstory. Characters who feel *real*.
Entranced by the impossibly glacial pace of unravelled world building, which makes each new revelation of lore or history unbelievably exciting!
At once swept away in unpredictable, breakneck currents of narrative; and trapped, sweating with tension, desperate for resolution… but terrified of what form it’ll take.

I’m a picky reader, leaving me averse to trying new authors. Most recommendations leave me frustrated at poor, shallow writing & amateurish characterisations.
I felt honestly shocked to discover this treasure trove of incredible writing, which I’d barely heard of!!

Only 3 books down, but I’m already a Malazan-proselytiser for life.
