Re: I have the same experience with rereads of Erikson always bringing new things to the fore. Macharius Send a noteboard - 19/05/2010 02:12:42 PM
I do wonder whether my decreased enjoyment in the Malazan series in recent books is because those books are really less good, or merely because things get repetitive and one gets the feeling that nothing really matters in the end. Toll the Hounds is probably a better novel by far than Gardens of the Moon, considering the oft-discussed jump in Erikson's writing abilities from GotM to DG, but I have a feeling rereading GotM would be more fun for me regardless.


Considering TtH's 400 pages of emo bloat, any other book in the series would be more fun to read again. DH/MoI being installments two and three and the most entertaining of a ten-volume series is kind of a travesty. Fortunately, DoD was a vast improvement over TtH and I am greatly anticipating The Crippled God.

MT was just as good as those two, IMHO of course. Asharak - 21/05/2010 12:29:22 PM 684 Views

For me, GotM remains a half-failure DomA - 22/05/2010 06:05:30 PM 983 Views

I'm pretty sure that I found MbotF from Wotmania, so thanks for that. GateKeeper - 17/05/2010 03:28:08 PM 804 Views
Never quite thought of Erikson's series as being akin to screwing in the backseat... Larry - 18/05/2010 07:14:01 PM 962 Views
It's not my cup of tea. Good luck reading it! RugbyPlayingAshaman - 19/05/2010 03:42:08 PM 890 Views
I've got to ask. Kotagg - 20/05/2010 08:56:14 PM 765 Views
Fans of the series told me that "Gardens of the Moon" isn't a good book to start with. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 21/05/2010 10:47:52 PM 845 Views
I agree with Kotagg GateKeeper - 21/05/2010 01:52:06 PM 748 Views
