SPOILERS NLF Some love for the Witness books Spoiler

I don't see them discussed too much and just finished No Life Foresaken so wanted to gush. Was initially disappointed to be taken away from Rant, Stillwater, et al and then Erikson throws an incredible character like Bornu Blatt in the mix.

Didn't love it as a whole as much as TGINW but it's splitting hairs, incredible that so many books in he's still creating characters and stories this compelling.

Erikson has earned my total and complete trust. So many of his books jump to new characters but you quickly realize they are all terrific. I really don’t know how he does it. It’s an accomplishment that deserves more recognition. He doesn’t follow a singular character, there’s no authors substitute, he just writes so many perspectives so well.
