Intentionally provocative title I do like the guy. But Dust of Dreams (book 9) has me thinking he slid from brilliant to either overrated or insane. Spoilers:
Frankly that level of abstraction and obscurity on the major plot conclusion for the book is as bad as the rubber band puzzle in Wizardry 7. You just can't do that kind of silliness. After doing some quick searching I realize I'm in good company giving this book a big WTF. I'm glad I'm about to start the final book in the series because I think Erikson was losing his mind writing wrapping this saga. Introduce LESS pointless characters and have LESS camp banter and MORE clarity in your books! Otherwise its the usual brilliant Erikson creativity but I mean DAMN
Icarium the ghost who was not a ghost but with ghosts takes over the sky keep and inexplicably seals the warren gate with the god's eyeball (the Errant) from Featherwitch. Battle over and Icarium saves the day! Huh????
