4 and a half books in and i still don't get it. Not at all.
I don't get how the magic works, what are warrens? Are they different worlds or just sources of magic, how many are there?
How do the Tistes interact? How are Anomander, Osserec, Draconus and Envy all related?
What are Jaghut?
What are the Azaath?
What is Ascendency? Are Gods Ascendents? Are Ascendents immortal? What are Holds and Houses?
If you could answer any of the above without spoilers post midnight tides i would be quite grateful
As an aside how do you rate alongside the other fantasy epics? At first i just thought it was like individual stories (tales) from the same setting backdrop, but i take it there is a thread? This Crippled God is essentially the Dark One? Sauron? etc.
Not sure it is as good as wot or soiaf, not sure how much i like that so much is revealed in the next book, i forget what's relevant or familiar. All in all though not bad.
