I've tried reading the Malazan stuff and put it down twice. I don't know what it is, but it just isn't my cup of tea.

it can be that way

i read the first 4 or 5 books pretty quickly, then got fatigued by it when they introduced an entirely new civilization into the story

i put the series down for a year, read a bunch of King and Ice and Fire for the second time then picked it back up and im on the 7th book now

i think the break was good because although you have to look at summaries to remind yourself who the characters are (there are hundreds that appear regularly or come up), if you try to read straight through you end up just getting exhausted

im enjoying the books now, but i am looking forward to getting through the rest of this one and the last 3

Hardest series I've ever read... still haven't finished.

Read thru book 3 on my first go.

Had to take a break.

About a year later I started back on book 4 and just searched online for the characters/powers/worlds when they popped up again.

Got midway thru book 7 or 8 and got burnt out again.

That's where I'm at now. That was about last July or August. I'll finish them one day.
