Reapers Gale end
Just finished Reapers Gale... was anyone else disappointed with the end of this book? It was really cooking until like 80% of the way through and then the last couple chapters just seemed to whimper out - Icarium never fights Rhulad, and Karsas fight with Rhulad takes about two seconds and is over instantly. The Bonehunters just stroll into Lether essentially unopposed, Silchas Ruin is wrecked in one second by Quick Ben, and somehow now Tehol is literally Emperor?
I loved this book overall, especially everything else to do with the Malazan invasion, the quest to find Scabandari, the politics within Lether, the Awl, and everything leading up to the ending, and am so excited to see where the series continued to go, but this was definitely my least favorite finish to any of the books so far.
Beak is a legend though that scene had me in tears.
