    Ah, Malazan, the series that filters out most of its potential audience with the driest and most incoherent first book I can remember reading.

    For anyone who bounced off it, know that it gets so much better after that. It’s like asking Tolkien readers to start with the Silmarillion - I just skip book one entirely on rereads.

      Rereads? Rereads?? The hell, I can’t even get myself to finish the first read 🤣 can’t get past the fifth book… The first one was actually quite interesting to me. After I got some sense of what’s it about 🙂
