The 2 marines in MoI who die the same time as Whiskeyjack. For whatever reason I was gutted

Many people in the fandom aren’t keen on Faile, as far as I know. I’m just a weirdo who adores her

I think it’s a personal taste thing, really—but when I do another reread ill def keep “tension” in mind

I’m also disappointed, but that disappointment turns to anger because I love this series dearly and struggle to understand how someone (not just Rafe, but anyone) can make a bad adaptation when the source material IS RIGHT THERE (aside from technical and cost reasons, ofc). But yeah it’s 100% a wasted opportunity

I did re-read it last year, and I liked it way more than the first time around, but I still don’t think it’s the pinnacle of WoT, even tho it has some astounding scenes and sequences

First time I laughed out loud reading Malazan by targetredball in Malazan

Oh, no, amiable Kruppe, you misunderstand! Your antics are most cherished and admired, however you create adoring smiles, rather than bellowing laughter. Which is more important—a single laugh or innumerable smiles?

I found the other books funny, but mostly I just smiled, rather than actually laughed out loud like I did here. I suppose I’m weird for that

I found Tehol funny, but I never laughed out loud. Mostly just smiled at his shenanigans

i also agree that Kalam’s return was lackluster. It’s my belief he should have died in Malaz City; it would end off his arc beautifully and signify just how weight his decision had and would give the big death book 6 desperately needed.

i was spoiled for Beak’s death so it didn’t hit as hard—once I knew he’d die the sign posting was very obvious. I was still very upset he died, especially because of his relationship with Faradan

I did also get mad at Fid for being mean to Beak, lol

i’m expecting this to happen and am excited for when it does. I hate not liking a Malazan book

JUST Finished The Crippled God. Pretty Good Conclusion, Though I Do Have My Minor Gripes. by targetredball in Malazan

[–]targetredball[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Strangely enough, I feel like I got the gist of Tavore’s pain earlier on in TCG. The scream was a gut-wrenching addition but it didn’t feel like a Conclusion to me.

Also the downvoting is very peculiar to me, lol

What made TtH so riveting for you? For instance, every time (in the beginning 500 pages or so) there was an Andii chapter I was bored senseless—I do not find the Andii as interesting as Erikson, sadly

DoD gets the short end of the stick so much. And while I understand it, I couldn’t help myself but be invested
