 |  Gaunts Ghosts - up to and including The Armour Of Contempt !!!!!CONTAINS MULTIPLE BIG SPOILERS!!!!! The Armour of Contempt Is it just me or does the Armour of Contempt seem a very quick read compaired to the others? I mean, I know they're all roughly the same length as it is, but it just fealt shorter for me, despite containing a fair ol' amount of action. I suspect it had something to do with the majority of the book taking place within about just 4 days. The Regretful Dead: Caffran. Now that is annoying. Now I do like a good sudden or unexpected death in a book (Braggs death being a good example of this, unexpected, shocking and brilliant), however this one just made me feel a bit annoyed. The Star Turn: Merrt without a doubt. A character kept in the back of your mind since Straight Silver when Gaunt walks in on him doing some practise shooting in an empty barn. The Bland Death: Sabbatine Cirk, fitting for a character that (quite rightly) never really jelled. The Newcomers: Dalin Criid is a good character, I have nothing else really to say on the matter. Currently I'm not particularly moved by his story, but when a new major character arrives it takes a bit to adjust. The Best of Ghosts: Mkvenner lives!  Mkvenner stays on Gereon. Bleh-ness. The Best Line: "Proper bloody Guardsmen." Some Final Words: Caff's dead, Dalin's arrived, Mkvenner's fethed off permanently, Larks will get a bionic foot, Merrt's probably a new major character, life's nasty in the guard during a siege, Curth's back with the Tanith, the Inquisition's confused. A good book, even if it is over sooner than you'd like.
