( ) Bauchelain and Korbal Broach, along with Emancipor Reese, are almost side characters in each story, just giving a little push here and there to influence things. I found this amusing. And just when things are getting tense, Erikson inserts some humor. Albeit, dark and twisted humor, but I like that kind anyway. I had never read any of the books in the Malazan Empire series by Steven Erikson, but I was intrigued by the heroes / anti-heroes of these 3 novellas. And Erikson didn't disappoint me. Korbal Broach is rather Psychotic, while Bauchelain is a necromancer that I would give my life to NEVER, EVER meet. But at the same time, these two thoroughly evil men (along with manservant Emanciapator Reese) are just so interesting to read about and besides, one is never "quite" sure that those whom they are fighting against aren't actually "more" evil than our two necromantic heroes are. A fun read, though Bauchelain and Broach are a great fit to the short story genre, I am not sure that a full length novel would be a good fit, the conceit might wear on the reader. But I really do look forward to reading more of the adventures of Bauchelain and Korbal Broach (along with their hapless and yet also "helpful" manservant Emanciapator Reese).

Set in the awe-inspiring world of the Malazan Empire, here are three tales of the enigmatic and eccentric necromancers Bauchelain and Korbal Broach collected in one volume. BLOOD FOLLOWS -- In the port city of Lamentable Moll, a diabolical killer stalks the streets and panic grips the citizens like a fever. As Emancipor Reese's legendary ill luck would have it, his previous employer is the unknown killer's latest victim. But two strangers have come to town, and they have posted in Fishmonger's Round a note, reeking of death-warded magic, requesting the services of a manservant. THE LEES OF LAUGHTER'S END -- After their blissful sojourn in Lamentable Moll, the sorcerers Bauchelain and Korbal Broach -- along with their manservant, Emancipor Reese -- set out on the open seas aboard the sturdy ship Suncurl. Alas, there's more baggage in the hold than meets the beady eyes of the crew, and unseemly terrors awaken. For Bauchelain and Korbal Broach, and Emancipor Reese, it is just one more night on the high seas, on a journey without end. THE HEALTHY DEAD -- The city of Quaint's zeal for goodness can be catastrophic, and no one knows this better than Bauchelain and Korbal Broach, two stalwart champions of all things bad. The homicidal necromancers -- and their substance-addled manservant, Emancipor Reese -- find themselves ensnared in a scheme to bring goodness into utter ruination. Sometimes you must bring down civilization... in the name of civilization. Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
