Nothing really happened. It was slow. The main character is really understated and dull. I feels like this is all set up for the rest of the series.

I'm 42% through through Deadhouse Gates.
I'm presently rereading the series, I'm on the Bonehunters currently. these Malazan Books are even better 2nd time around as you have a more complete understanding of the events and how they all relate to other things/characters.you aint seen nothin yet
Reading through this thread @T-K-G I've read a lot of the books you have, have you read the 1st law series by Joe Abercombie? If not I'd reccomend those books to you, totally diferent from the malazan books but very good imo.

Yes I agree but I don't think I've read another series as intricate as these Malazan books, I'm still piecing bits together the 2nd time round, would appreciate if you've got any sci-fi recomendations as I mostly read sci-fi books anyway.Yea i just finished that series a couple months ago, it was coo, they felt kind of basic compared to Malazan.

3body problem trilogy goes deeper than Malazan, might be best sci-fi i've ever read
shyt had me legit shook in real life cuz it was all so plausible
the writer being a real physicists/engineer helped. shyt makes no sense until it makes perfect sense 
it's wild

It's hard to describe without spoiling. It's different than Rosewater and Children of Blood and Bone - which are the last two Ive read in that genre. It's more gritty and heavy.
Here's the Goodreads description.
This is the way the world ends. Again.
Three terrible things happen in a single day. Essun, a woman living an ordinary life in a small town, comes home to find that her husband has brutally murdered their son and kidnapped their daughter. Meanwhile, mighty Sanze -- the world-spanning empire whose innovations have been civilization's bedrock for a thousand years -- collapses as most of its citizens are murdered to serve a madman's vengeance. And worst of all, across the heart of the vast continent known as the Stillness, a great red rift has been been torn into the heart of the earth, spewing ash enough to darken the sky for years. Or centuries.
Now Essun must pursue the wreckage of her family through a deadly, dying land. Without sunlight, clean water, or arable land, and with limited stockpiles of supplies, there will be war all across the Stillness: a battle royale of nations not for power or territory, but simply for the basic resources necessary to get through the long dark night. Essun does not care if the world falls apart around her. She'll break it herself, if she must, to save her daughter. (less)

Cyberpunk:Got any good cyberpunk novels to recommend. And is those Malazan books really that good?
Im almost done re reading the Sprawl Trilogy(Neuromancer, Count Zero, Mona Lisa Overdrive) right now and it's better than I remember
it's actually credited with birthing the cyberpunk genre so start there if you haventSci-fi:
3body problem like i told the other breh, starts off the first chapter way before the actual plot starts so that throws people off but it gets WILD and might legit fukk with your head
Obviously hitchhikers guide to the galaxy is a classic series
Fantasy:
YES BREH
i will never stop campaigning for Malazan, shyt has everything you could ask for in a fantasy book.....the fukking convergences breh every time the big dogs all showed up at one spot it was insanely epic, had me doing the 
out loud like i was at the moviesKing Killer Chronicles is up there too
author just needs to drop the 3rd bookDANGER ZONE: Do not attempt to read these books unless your are willing to literally change the way your brain takes in information while you read them
dead serious, they're hard to follow if you only read linear stuffInfinite Jest
Gravity's Rainbow
