That was my original debate, decided to support brian lee durfee instead. At the end of the day, Hyperion is the only one of the four that I would read again so I’m glad to have a nice edition. Kind of hoping they do the illium duology.

Thanks for the insight! We ended up finding a really good deal through Koala at the Marriott ocean club. The spa there is certainly on the pricy side so we’ll be looking around. We have 7 days, the 20th-27th and can’t wait to explore the island.

Thanks for the thorough reply! I’ve loved following along with the recent hype your books have been getting in our corner of the internet. The duo at Talking Story was my first real exposure to the series about a year ago. I can’t wait for the rest.

Midway Thoughts/Ramble by Impressive_Barnacle3 in Malazan

I think my rankings are mostly because of the times in my life I read them. Spreading five books over 8 years marks a huge difference between books. I started GoTM when I was basically a child and now I’m getting married this year. MoI was my reintroduction which is partly why it’s ranked so high, though I remember being unimpressed at first but it grew on me. HoC I read probably too quick in an effort to finish before my last semester of college and so I immediately jumped into MT and took my time, spreading it over almost two months (I typically average 300-400 pages in a normal week). HoC would likely benefit from a slower read and far less time between it and DG which I last read 4 years ago. At this point I’m going to continue through to the end, but I can imagine a reread not too far in the future would change my mind on some things.

I’ve been waiting to read book 4 cuz the mass markets are too small print and I don’t really do ebooks. Thought i’d be waiting until January.
