robotadam reads finished reading Forge of the High Mage by Ian C. Esslemont
I think this might be Esslemont's best book — it was tight, with great characterization and a good glimpse into the history of some of the more mysterious characters in the Malazan world!

Glorious sci-fi
5 stars

I've long been a fan of Kate Beaton's work (King Baby was one of my favorite books we read to my kid when he was a baby!), but I wasn't prepared for the emotional impact of Ducks. The wry humor in the slice of life portions were a great foundation for the deeper impacts of life at the camps, and Beaton imbues everyone with such humanity that I felt for everyone even though the impact of the work down at the sands is so horrific.
