Memories of Ice Chapters 5-6

We're finally to the incredible Chapter 5. We get a whole ton of information about the T'lan Imass, Caladan Brood, the Tiste Andii, and so on. We see a meeting between the Malazans and their enemy. We rejoin the illustrious and magnificent Kruppe. And if that weren't enough, in Chapter 6 we get the dinosaurs with swords for arms that were one of the selling points Nate used to get Matt to read Malazan.
