What bloody world do I jump in to next? I've been advised against Malazan and I don't like 'series' which are in the same world but completely different sets of characters each time, I just don't get attached fast enough.

I's been bugging me for about 6 months since I finished Dance with Dragons so I've just been rereading WoT to get up to speed for aMoL but I'm finished that now as well. Should finish the first Dark Tower book but I probably wont.

(p.s, if anyone knows a series worth committing to I'd be thoroughly grateful, one big story, interesting characters, detailed world/backstory/history etc.)
