re: Malazan series

A I little bit of that is ok but if you go too far you will end up reading something that is a major resolution at the end of one of the books. I don't really mind that because seeing this person doing this or killing this guy aren't really why I enjoy the types of books. Some of it is helpful in the beginning.

My best strategy was when I came to something when I didn't know what the frick it was, just keep moving and eventually you get some clues and figure it out.
