The Crippled God is an epic fantasy novel by Canadian author Steven Erikson, the tenth and final volume of the Malazan Book of the Fallen.

[2] In a 2014 Q&A with Tor, Erikson said he considers Dust of Dreams and The Crippled God to be two halves of a single, concluding book.

[4] Bill Capossere described the novel as "the closing chapter of a work that I believe stands as the preeminent fantasy of the past 20 years and belongs high up on the short list of best ever.

"[6] SFFWorld called it "action-packed, compelling and full of wonderful scenes for the fans" but is critical of the lack of resolution in some plot threads.

[7] Fantasy Book Review scored it 10/10, calling it "the perfect finale to one of the greatest literary achievements of the last hundred years.
