I'm always looking out for new stuff though, so I may have to plop down for book one and stick it in the queue, thanks for the tip!MIKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12349008639954236034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10402375120725539.post-41394384976379104672009-09-08T06:48:52.150-04:002009-09-08T06:48:52.150-04:00Yep, the Malazan series is a collection I cannot r...Yep, the Malazan series is a collection I cannot recommend enough. <br /><br />It is however, a serious time investment - there will be ten books in Book of The Fallen, then he has two more trilogies set up down the line, as well as a bunch of short stories collected together. And as far as the main series go, you'll be wanting to re-read it (one or more times) to get the full enjoyment out of the series. <br /><br />Erikson does not hold your hand, he lets you figure out stuff for yourself, and there is a ridiculous amount of plot threads. One of the main points about his writing is that history has no beginning, so he throws you down in the middle of a conflict. It can be overwhelming at times, but the feeling of satisfaction is well worth it.<br /><br />Sorry, you may have guessed, I'm a bit of a fan... :D<br /><br />The best thing you can do is pick up the first book and have at it. You'll either throw the book down in disgust or be addicted for life...Itkovianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05232909071786636360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10402375120725539.post-49561949075175020492009-09-08T03:02:48.732-04:002009-09-08T03:02:48.732-04:00@Jake: Yeah, he is, I'm waiting for him to re...@Jake: Yeah, he is, I'm waiting for him to really start knocking some heads!<br /><br />@Itkovian: Yeah, it felt rushed, nice to see it wasn't just me.<br /><br />Also, are you talking about the Malazan series? I've wanted to pick that one up, but at nine books so far...<br /><br />@BJ: I put a healthy dent in 'Galaxy' tonight, and I've been much happier with it so far, Ben Counter seems to have made a deliberate effort to get the series back on track while moving the series forward (even tying up some of those loose ends I mentioned from the previous book).MIKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12349008639954236034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10402375120725539.post-21043552458727167912009-09-07T21:16:14.599-04:002009-09-07T21:16:14.599-04:00I too was surprised at how quickly Horus turned.

I think you will find it runs more smoothly than False Gods, but still has that epic feel as it flashes from one group of individuals to the other.<br /><br />-BJMeatballhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18392265613551149975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10402375120725539.post-69588762253119770722009-09-07T19:59:10.984-04:002009-09-07T19:59:10.984-04:00I agree with your point about Horus, and I suspect...I agree with your point about Horus, and I suspect a lot of other people did and let McNeill know - just wait until you get to Fulgrim - that's how a primarch should be turned.<br /><br />I'm almost tempted to start the series again, but I just got Steven Erikson latest epic, so it will have to wait a month or so...Itkovianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05232909071786636360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10402375120725539.post-54345149153196858962009-09-07T19:30:28.460-04:002009-09-07T19:30:28.460-04:00Loken is the shizznitLoken is the shizznitJakenoreply@blogger.com
