we talked about it in this thread before
Been meaning to get on thatTime for everyone to get on the Malazan Brooks of the Fallen wave to. Two writers, a finishen main series of ten books by one of them, a seven book series written by the other one and both are writing trilogies in the same universe now
I'm on the third book by Esslemont, read the ten by Eriksson twice, these ten are good at least, Esslemonts writing isn't really on par with Erikssons so far but so far quite enjoyable, the fact that he continues storylines and characters that were abandoned in the main books (I call them main but since they created the world together all of them are canon) plays a big role in that too. But I would say start with Gardens of the Moon and see if you like it, the ten books form a complete story, but if you're like me and crave more Malazan after that
it's there
I have a friend who's a writer, even self published a short story on Amazon. Dude is one of the smartest people I know. He said he made it half way through Gardens and just put it down. He says it's incredibly hard to follow and he has to basically go to TOR after each chapter and read a synopsis of whatever he just read. He said whenever he reads the synopsis, he always finds that he missed something or didn't pick up on something while reading it. He said he still enjoyed it and planned to finish it......I told him I'd pass. That just did not sound like a fun read. I can do without that in my life.Time for everyone to get on the Malazan Brooks of the Fallen wave to.

I read the first Night Angel book. It just didn't do it for me. Usually a book about assassins and magic blades are right up my alley, but I don't know what it was. I didn't complete the rest of the trilogy after reading the first book. I might come back to it later.
Well it kinda is something that grips you or not
you're thrown right in the middle of a quite complex situation right from the get go, so I can understand if people feel it's too much. I think Eriksson alludes to it in the preface of Gardens, something like people love or hate his writing right away. I never felt like looking up synopsis though.
tried reading the first one but im fukkin lost bruhTime for everyone to get on the Malazan Brooks of the Fallen wave to. Two writers, a finishen main series of ten books by one of them, a seven book series written by the other one and both are writing trilogies in the same universe now
I still don't know what that is and it's one of the things making me tight about the book. Luckily that soldier Paran and Whiskeyjack's crew got me invested right now.
