Gotta get the thread started somehow, watchu know about that? Prolly lots

Just started another attempt to read Malazan. My last attempt was roughly 7 years ago and I got to book 6 before quitting. Every time I finish a book and the cast completely changes it annoys me. Hopefully I can push through this time.

>Is Malazan good?
yes, it just drops you in the deep end with a ton of characters and doesn't hand hold explaining concepts because in universe the people experiencing them either already understand or are as in the dark as the reader. people say the 1st book is bad but i really like it, the books started as the writers d&d campaigns and you can sometimes see the mechanics behind whats happening but it all holds together. better than fucking sanderson, not as good as black company but a lot closer to BC than 2nd apocalypse

thats an exaggeration, the ending of book 1 gets explained fully in the next 2 books but even cold you can still figure out whats happening

Anybody here worry too much about small details in their stories?

How much about your characters and setting do you think you usually need to know about before writing?

Malazan is the peak of fantasy, nothing even comes close. Get better.

*books
The answer is Malazan

Recommend me other series to read for a while. Im on my 6th reread of the series and need something to entertain me before the next one.
Also ask me questions, I know 99 % of things you CAN know about it.
