Currently on book eight of my re-read and was just curious if there are any other fans of this series here. Its my favorite out of the genre and has been for a while.

Books 2 and 3 are some of my all time favorites of any genre out there. It amazes all the things that fit together so much better now that I know what is going on. Its a hell of a challenge, but i bet i end up going through a third time at some point.

Kruppe has got to be my favorite character but there are so many of them and the depth of the story is amazing. There are multiple times i've put down the book and just thought about what happened - if there are others in here just getting through i don't want to spoil anything.

Mainly curious if anyone else on here was reading these right now and wanted to discuss the books.

I finished the series a few years ago (haven't attempted a reread) and thoroughly enjoyed them as well! I always recommend them to anyone who likes that genre. The scope is just so vast.

I would also agree that 2 and 3 are my favorites as well. Favorite character though....Tehol Beddict was the most entertaining to me, but I really admired Whiskeyjack and Fiddler, so it's kind of a toss up.

Malazan is one of my top finished fantasy series for sure. Books 2 and 3 would be among my favorites as well, along with book 5. One of the best things about the series I think is that it actually has a strong finish with book 10 that wraps things up nicely.

Kruppe is pretty awesome, but I think the Tehol and Bugg combo is my favorite of the series.

Most of Esslemont's companion books are good too, and the Bauchelain and Broach books are great as well.

I mentioned this on a previous thread but there is a great website that has some insights and discussions on each book, including Esslemont’s.

Go to LINK and check it out. I followed their posts and comments and I caught some pretty big things I missed while reading.

Great series I liked them on audiobook as well.
