Spoiler clearance: Reaper’s Gale

   New twist! If Corporal Deadsmell is really to be taken to his word, the Shake are descended from distant Tiste Andii, with some K’Chain Che’Malle cross-breeding thrown into the mix... Shake well (just having fun here), and you get the strangest people ever created in the Malazan world.

   Truly wicked. Love it! It’s like finding a tribe of hillbillies mixed with gators – and some remnant of Blackfoot Indian blood.

   Just finished the chapter where Tehol is arrested by Evil Charlie Brown. Damn! Pretty depressing, I guess. But, you cannot help to think it was bound to happen: What if we took the most loveable character and put him in the same room as the most despicable character?

   And it’s Tehol alone. Without Bugg.

   We’ll see.
