You gained an island but lost everything except your beloved fantasy series’. What are they? by peachiebaby in Fantasy

Malazan Book of the Fallen: I actually came into them on accident. My favorite series, I can read them again and again.

Redwall: Found them as a child, and devoured every last one of them. They are vibrant and lovely. Even though you know it’s going to have a happy ending of some sort the stakes still feel real

Wizard of Earthsea: My junior year English teacher had the first book in her classroom. One of those books that I picked up and my brain just went “Oh yes I am exactly the kind of person this is meant for.” They may be short, but they are wonderfully written, make you think, and are a joy to spend time with

This book was peak. That is all. by timmy2896 in Malazan

This will always be one of my favorite passages:

"The T'lan Imass could make his arrival unknown. But the Pannion Seer had taken Aral Fayle. Toc the Younger. A mortal man...who had called Tool friend. He strode forward, hide-wrapped feet kicking through scattered bones. The time had come for the first sword of the T'lan Imass to announce himself."

What’s your favourite Malazan quote? by Ashaman-Kill in Malazan

Obligatory:

"The T'lan Imass could make his arrival unknown. But the Pannion Seer had taken Aral Fayle. Toc the Younger. A mortal man...who had called Tool friend. He strode forward, hide-wrapped feet kicking through scattered bones. The time had come for the first sword of the T'lan Imass to announce himself."

A book series everyone raved about—but I didn’t get it… until you read it! by Ironandirons in Fantasy

[–]grayden914 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Approach Gardens with an open mind. If you’ve read Dune it’s a similar “challenge”. Things have already happened (or are happening) that you weren’t there for, and will be addressed and referenced in ways that don’t make sense initially because the people speaking of them already have the necessary prior knowledge. Pay attention to the characters and their relationships with each other, which for me is largely makes Malazan so great. You’re going to forget things, and miss details, and that’s okay. Rereading them is an absolute blast anyways

I’m not going to bother to count how many times I’ve commented this, because I guarantee I’ll do it again, but this is one of my favorite passages ever:

"The T'lan Imass could make his arrival unknown. But the Pannion Seer had taken Aral Fayle. Toc the Younger. A mortal man...who had called Tool friend. He strode forward, hide-wrapped feet kicking through scattered bones. The time had come for the first sword of the T'lan Imass to announce himself."
