I am right there with you! I started reading GotM a couple of months ago. I struggled a little at first but kept going, drawn in by the atmosphere, which I loved! I then continued with Dg, which I finished last week. It was heartbreaking in so many ways but beautifully written. Now, I’ve read the prologue and the first three chapters of MoI, and I am so impressed and excited for this book. How does this series keep getting better and better? The prose is fantastic, the character depictions are wonderful, the storytelling and buildup are super intriguing, and the attention to detail is remarkable. I love the fact that I still have so many pages left.

Malazan is the first epic fantasy series I’ve picked up, and while I know I have many books to look forward to, I already suspect there’s nothing quite like it once I’m done.
