I just finished Deadhouse Gates last night, and I'm stunned, to say the least. That was probably one of the best fantasy books I've read. I immediately went today to buy physical copies of the first four books, and I'm encouraging my girlfriend read GotM as soon as I see her next.

So I'm on Memories of Ice, and I feel I don't understand a couple things.
What are gods? Ascendants are mortals that became gods, but are all Ascendants gods?
How does the afterlife work? Everyone talks about Hood's embrace, but other groups talk about reincarnation. Is it unknown? Are all correct?

I'm reading House of Chains for the first time and I'm having a bit of difficulty. In the past the various perspectives and plots seemed to compliment each other, informing one another and leading to a climax where they all intercepted. I'm halfway through and I feel like that really isn't happening, which means all the plots feel harder to keep track of. Is this a problem with House of Chains, or am I just not seeing the connective tissue?

Okay, fair enough, I was just feeling a bit lost and wondered if I wasn't seeing the through line. As long as it's there, I should be good.
