When the one comes back from the ritual so to speak was such a powerful sequence. That was one of the times in the series I had to sort of close the book and just stop and think for a bit.

Have you read any outside of the main 10, may pick up one of them in the coming months? I've got some other stuff I'm going to read once I finish up the crippled god on my re-read, but was considering looking into some of the other books in the Malazan world - any recommendations?

Have you read the Esslemont books Sally? Or the Bauchelain and Broach novellas by Erikson?

The Bauchelain/Broach novellas are great, and pretty funny.

Most of Esslemont's books are pretty solid as well. His last two in particular are fantastic. Dancer's Lament and Deadhouse Landing are prequels to the Malazan series starring Dancer and Kellanved and are right behind the best books in the original Malazan series in quality IMO (if not equally as good).

Ya, I've read them all except for the Kharkanas books (want the trilogy to be complete before I read).

If you're a fan of the Seguleh, Orb, Scepter, Throne is a must read. They're all good books though. Fill in a lot of the backstory, especially around the Crimson Guard.

Esslemont does a solid job. Not quite Erikson's level, but few authors are.
