Page Burners: The Bonehunters by Steven Erikson Ch. 5-6 | Beneath a Broken Moon

The march continues as Page Burners dives into Chapters 5 and 6 of The Bonehunters, and Steven Erikson wastes no time raising new questions while deepening old mysteries.This week we discuss the ever-enigmatic Adjunct Tavore and what her soldiers do—and don’t—know about her plans. We explore themes of civilization, slavery, and torture, unpack the unsettling philosophy of truth at any cost, and debate whether progress is worth the dangers it unleashes.Elsewhere, Karsa Orlong and Samar Dev continue their uneasy journey, Bottle encounters a mysterious figure whose future could reshape the world, and Paran reunites with Apsalar for one of the novel’s most heartfelt moments. We also meet the formidable Faradan Sort, mourn an unexpected loss, and speculate wildly about Sky Keeps, ancient powers, and what exactly is wrong with the moon.As always, this is a full-spoiler discussion for everything we've read in the Malazan series so far, including the novels by Steven Erikson and Ian C. Esslemont that Page Burners has covered.Grab your sword, your deck of dragons, and maybe a drink with Hellian—because things in The Bonehunters are only getting stranger.Next episode: Chapters 7 only. Trust us, you'll want the extra time.Podcast equipment used (Amazon Affiliate links):Rodecaster DuoRode PSA1+ Professional Studio ArmRode Procaster Microphone
