In a long line of readers who have enjoyed Steven Erikson's Malazon series, I loved the third book. Finally, I have some idea of what the series is about! There's a reason every single review you will ever read of the Malazan series includes some variation of the words, "grand scale." Throughout the first and second books I was convinced there was some huge underlying scheme I was either unable to understand, or Erkison had yet to find me worthy of letting me in on the secret.
That being said, all three books were amazing. Erikson is a master of character; following the different viewpoints and various plot lines proved a wonderful distraction to not knowing what is going on. Between the three books, I cried twice, laughed more than once and was forced to stop reading at several points in absolute awe. Glad there is more to come.
Sounds amazing! You've sold me. I'll start it soonish, I promise.
