 ) Also I love karsa, and Trudd, and Fiddler, and Ben Adaephon Delat, or what about Anomander Rake or Kalam or Caladan Brood or Fiddler or Ganoes or Itkovian or Kruppe or Onos T'Oolan, or onrack, or Felisin/Ganoes/Tavoreor Toc (tears up even more).(Most run-on sentence ever?) And all the others. This series is so great but so hard to get into. Definitely worth it.And I forgot Tehol and Bugg Oo Now I'm going to have to re-read the whole thing, damn you teamliquid. | ||

Go read esslemont's books. They're pretty solid, and cover a lot of cool stuff in the malazan universe that Erickson's books leave unexplored. | ||

Rappers gale spoiler below. + Show Spoiler + Trull Sengars death as he knelt over Rhulad's finally still body felt so much more tragic to me than the Chain of Dogs. Didn't realise how much I loved Trulls character... Also Toc coming back and then dying And beak's sacrifice! Tragic book to me, and my favorite so far excepting maybe the second book.By far my favorite characters are Cotillion, Tehol & Bugg combined (their conversations and antics are hilarious at times), and I now realize Trull. Guess ill go buy the remaining books of the main series. | ||

That was probably the most emotional scene in the whole series for me. + Show Spoiler + Rhulad and Trull were two of my favorite characters. I'm usually alright with tragic endings. But not that one >=( | ||

Yeah, definetely do this. Also Erikson has some loose novels on the Malazan empire himself as well. When reading Esslemont, half of the time I do not even notice a difference with Erikson. | ||

Esslemont wrote in a different style for that one. It didn't have that classical malazan style feel, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. | ||

I started reading Gardens of the Moon and today I stumbled at a side saying it's the 6th book by chronological order. So I was wondering if I have done a mistake by starting from Gardens? What TL has to say about it? Read it by the published order or chronological order? Thanks! It's not the 6th book in chronological order if you look at the "big series". It would be the 2nd with only Midnight Tides being earlier (and some little fragments here and there like prologues etc.). Just read them as it's intended, so: Gardens -> Deadhouse Gates -> Memories of Ice -> House of Chains -> Midnight Tides -> Bonehunters -> Reapers Gale -> Toll the Hounds -> Dust of Dreams -> Crippled God Some say read the second book before the first one. I wouldn't, it spoils too much in my opinion. The book that list as earlier on chronological order are not part of the greater story and are pretty much stand alones / background stories (or novellas). | ||
