I guess it just worked for me. I do think, however, that following GoTM, Erikson must have tweaked his writing style slightly, because the next few books in the series are much more readable.GLSnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-58987440820473739572018-05-13T18:01:39.855+00:002018-05-13T18:01:39.855+00:00Thanks for the recs!

I have gotten into audiobooks over the last few years and all my attempts with Malazan have been though that...perhaps it was just too confusing in that format although not all are like that...the narrator for Abercrombie's First law is simply the best thing ive ever heard and I cannot imagine the series in any other form that read by Steven Pacey...check those out if you haven't!

The fourth time I got through it and by the end of it I was hooked. Book 2 had me weary because it's different characters from the first but from that point on the series just takes off and is one of the best reading experiences I've ever had. I read pretty much all the major fantasy series out there and Malazan is the most memorable. It's probably the only series I've read where I wanna reread it!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06474592941025889203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-39895643051747315742018-04-25T03:02:16.110+00:002018-04-25T03:02:16.110+00:00I have struggled with this book and just could not...I have struggled with this book and just could not get into it. The only other series I struggled this much to get into was Black Company...I am a HUGE Wheel of time, Joe Abercrombie, Brandon Sanderson fan and have loved Scott Lynch and Rothfuss... Malazan seemed like the main series as a big fantasy fan I haven't read...do others struggle with this one as much? Any other recs? I feel like I have read all the great fantasy series out there and have been struggling to find a new one!Adam K.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-14936919403021592422018-04-24T10:59:45.578+00:002018-04-24T10:59:45.578+00:00I didn't care for the first book but trudged t...I didn't care for the first book but trudged though it and read the second. I didn't really care for that book either, and that's where I stopped. I'll probably give the series another shot at some point.
