Amazing Story!
I really enjoyed this first installment of the Path to Ascendancy. It sheds light on Dancer's origin and a certain Dal hon Mage :) I really enjoyed the performance and the story!

You're in a room
I keep trying to view this as a Dungeons and Dragons novel, not because of any direct similarity, but due to the behavior of the protagonists.
Dorin and Wu act like low level player characters on a quest. They treat everyone else like NPCs, even each other, ignoring their advice and feelings, and paying no heed to the consequences of their actions. Dorin at least shows some development, as he is sickened by the seige of Heng and related atrocities. Wu shows no such enlightenment.
Many of the other viewpoint characters are similar. I've only read a couple of Esslemont's books, but I'm starting to realize that he's focusing on events, where Erikson's Malazan Book of the Fallen was about people.
