Great debut novel from Ian Esslemont. It takes place in the same world as the Malazan Books of the Fallen by Steven Erikson; the two authors co-created that world. If I could go back and change the order in which I read all the books by these two guys, I would read Night of Knives first, then the first six volumes of the Malazan Book of the Fallen, then Esslemont's second book, Return of the Crimson Guard.
