Los cazahuesos

The narrative jumps between many characters and factions, which can be challenging to follow. I'm curious whether this was planned from the start or evolved during writing.

The detailed lore and vast setting are impressive but also made me feel a bit lost at times. Did others find it enriching or a bit too dense?

Steven Erikson's storytelling feels gritty and uncompromising. I wonder what influences shaped this unflinching approach to fantasy.
