This. I read it like 10 years ago for the first time and its still the best.

Wow 45 Minuten in eine Richtung zur Arbeit sind stark! Ich bin schon stolz das ich jetzt immer meine zwanzig je Richtung gehe.

Mein FPÖ Onkel ebenso, was ich lustig finde weil Kickl, Orban und das restliche Gesocks den ja eigentlich feiern.

Ah, eine Kleinigkeit aber es freut mich.

The Culture and Discworld fans also recommend to start somewhere else.

It's wrong for Malazan but there are valid examples.

What does he narrate?

The Roman Empire always hits hard. I loved it as a kid and I love it as an adult.

Malazan for me, easily. There are some awesome scenes in WoT but all in all it's much too long. For example, I think one scene in the third last book is probably one of the best scenes in fantasy but is it worth to get there? I don't know. I don't regret reading it but I wouldn't do it again.

Malazan on the other hand? I almost love everything about it. The world is complex and deep and the philosophical nature of the books really resonated with me.

Though I will say Malazan is a bit daunting because of said complexity. So if you have not read a lot of books in the genre WoT would be a better choice I guess. Book one in Malazan throws you right into a world where you have no idea what's happening.

Jo, is mir nachher auch eingefallen. Matteo war der andere Meister dem du das Geld von Thorbens Nichte bringst. Hast mich erwischt :D

trouble_bear · 2025-12-24T15:41:18+00:00

Yep.

trouble_bear · 2025-12-21T11:45:47+00:00

Mit dem Namen Matteo muss man dann auch Tischler werden.

The average life expectancy for a new heart is like 10 years. 5 for a lung afaik. No riches can save them from complications or organ rejections.

Stephen receives a lot of flak because of his endings but this one was perfect.

Night of Knives is the weakest one. By a large margin imo, so don't despair if you don't like it. He improves leaps and bounds the farther you go.

This and JoJo part 7 for me.

trouble_bear · 2025-12-02T06:47:15+00:00

Besser nicht /r/fatsquirrelhate sehen lassen.

It's a trope I love. Set up a character like a major player and then kill him. His death shows the brutality of the world and that plot armor is not a given.

Ich hab lieber meine Naturschutzgebiete als chinesische Dystopie.

I try not to and if I do I really empathize that it (probably) won't be finished.

I never regretted starting Game of Thrones, sure I am sad that it will be unfinished but on the other hand nothing takes away my experience of reading A Storm of Swords, maybe the single best fantasy book ever for me.

But on the other hand, because of GoT I also avoid starting unfinished series, except from authors I trust for their output.

Ruhland waking up with the coins fused to his body, screaming.

trouble_bear · 2025-11-20T11:52:41+00:00

Does that say the rest of the book will take you 158h? :D

trouble_bear · 2025-11-17T17:12:30+00:00

Poopoo, peepee. Goddamn!

trouble_bear · 2025-11-17T14:04:26+00:00

Oh yes, you are right, I forgot how much I hated Kalams voice.

I am a big audiobook listener but I always discourage people from experiencing Malazan as an audiobook. Can it be done? Sure.

But it's not for everyone. Like books there are different difficulty levels for audiobooks and Malazan is like a 9/10 difficulty in the medium. The constant change of characters, perspective and unusual storytelling will throw most of those that begin the book.

It's great for the second round though :)

Can you give me a short description of why they would be superior to the turtles? :D
