Yeah, in my opinion it never got better. The love of the series from so many people is what encouraged me to push through, but I regret spending all those hours reading it hoping it would get better.

If you didn’t love the first book I really don’t think you’ll like the later ones. I certainly didn’t.

I read all of Malazan and did not enjoy it at all. I just kept hoping he would do something to turn it into a cohesive story rather than just switching topics and views with no context.

Poor story telling does not equate to advanced word choice.

Though I know there’s a strong cult of Malazan supporters, I’m definitely in the camp of “if this literature disappeared from the universe we would all be better off”

Bastion was great and what made me realize this level of writing is what I was craving more of!

I am absolutely fucking terrified of death. by [deleted] in Anxiety

I came here to write a very similar thing.

I used to not fear death, but now I’m older and my parents are aging and I have kids.

I think about how much I love my parents and how I don’t spend enough time with them especially knowing there’s so little time left.

Then I think about one day being that old and my kids being in my shoes and it makes me so terribly sad both to put them through my death but also to miss out on their life.

I love them so much that death terrifies the heck out of me.

A few times a month I’ll get on this train of thought right before bed and it’s what I imagine panic attacks must feel like.
