Night Of Knives by Ian C Esslemont
Malaz gave a great empire its name, but now this island and its city amount to little more than a sleepy backwater. Until this night. Because this night there is to be a convergence, the once-in-a-generation appearance of a Shadow Moon - an occasion that threatens the good people of Malaz with demon hounds and other, darker things.
Visceral power.. telling a story set largely over just one terrifying night, it pulverises you with an economy that's rare in fantasy * SFX *
Fast paced storytelling... an enjoyable balance * SFFworld *
Hugely promising... a pleasing, entertaining romp * DeathRay *
I had a blast reading Night of Knives... I highly recommend it to anyone who has enjoyed the Steven Erikson novels * Fantasyhotlist.com *
Esslemont handles action and brooding atmosphere equally well * Starburst *
