ICE just doesn't do it for me, and for such an important piece of mystery/lore in SE's series to be handled by the, in my opinion, vastly inferior ICE, is quite annoying. Reminds me why I was put off the series towards the end of MBotF.

The rest have to be read in the right place otherwise they constitute massive spoilers for Erikson's series (and later bits in Erikson's books will spoil ICE's if read out of order).<br /><br />RETURN OF THE CRIMSON GUARD is best-read after at least THE BONEHUNTERS, maybe REAPER'S GALE at the latest.<br /><br />STONEWIELDER should be read after CRIMSON GUARD but before DUST OF DREAMS/THE CRIPPLED GOD.<br /><br />ORB SCEPTRE THRONE must be read after TOLL THE HOUNDS. You can also read it after DUST OF DREAMS/THE CRIPPLED GOD, as it occurs more or less simultaneously.<br /><br />BLOOD AND BONE also takes place alongside DUST OF DREAMS/THE CRIPPLED GOD and should be read after.<br /><br />"Has ICE mentioned what his next project might be?"<br /><br />He's considering several possibilities, I believe. He and Erikson have talked about finally tackling the Malazan World Book (and that sort of thing is in vogue at the moment), though I believe there is also some thought of waiting for Erikson to finish at least the KHARKHANAS trilogy first (so presumably they can cover the Tiste backstory in full without spoiling anything). ICE has also spoken about doing some non-MALAZAN things as well.Adam Whiteheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11383677312079611311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-53173666564808968102013-05-31T18:00:30.212+00:002013-05-31T18:00:30.212+00:00Very excited for this one.Very excited for this one.Shanenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-33872221982252051522013-05-31T17:26:32.679+00:002013-05-31T17:26:32.679+00:00Has ICE mentioned what his next project might be? ...Has ICE mentioned what his next project might be? I know he basically got a deal because of Erikson, but I've watched him grow with every book, (Stonewielder I thought was pretty strong), and I'm actually looking forward to his next project, whatever it might be. I know Erikson, even after the Kharkanas set, mentioned a Karsa series, but wasn't alabravahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18399939463839265191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-77375645536306248122013-05-31T16:33:18.892+00:002013-05-31T16:33:18.892+00:00Wert, can one read the Esslemont books separately?...Wert, can one read the Esslemont books separately? Or must they be slotted into the overall order. I have read the first 4 Erikson books.Iainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02071546979497176969noreply@blogger.com
