The penultimate book. The Bonehunters march toward the final battle. An ancient evil awakens. The Snake — a line of starving children crossing a desert — may be the most harrowing sequence Erikson has written. This is part one of a two-book finale; The Crippled God completes it.
Clean.
Skip if you dislike:

Effectively yes — Dust of Dreams and The Crippled God are one book split in two.
Devastating — starving children in a desert march.
Highly recommended — they're one story.
