Funnily enough I was thinking the exact same thing.

[Paige Turner]

Trying to decipher the cryptic post… so you're in favour of these books? Is that correct?

And for the record, which books are we talking about?

Feelings mutual...wait well you finish Bonehunters...then the withdrawal symptoms set it.You start counting the days till the release of Reapers Gate and it seems a millenium away

Paige we are refering too Stephen Erikson's mind blowing series The Malazan Books of the Fallen

Right, well, it's off to the bibliotheque for me, then. Sounds fabulous.

Actually, that would make a good book-jacket blurb.

"A masterpiece" — Stephen King

"Stunning and engaging" — Michael Baldwin

"Aaaarrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" — Jason Taverner

So eloquently put I have nothing to add but... Me too! Me too!

[Lostara]

Me three, me three! Does anyone else have dreams about the characters?...Don't look at me like that! I can't help it...

I am about 300 pages into The Bonehunters now and I can't believe how much I have missed this story! As I said in another thread, The Bonehunters was sitting there and I was struggling to finish Kate Elliott's Child of Flame. I finally set a bookmark in it and set it aside and since then I have been in a much better mood. I will finish the Erikson book and go back to Kate's book.

Her book is good but with a story like the Malazan Book of the Fallen waiting I found I could not stop thinking about it and that seemed to completely distract me from Kates book. I think I will enjoy Kate's story a lot more once I have completed The Bonehunters.

Well I've recently completed Kate's COS series and I found that Burning Stone and Child Of Flame slowed down the overall pace of the story but happily it really picked up speed again in the final 3 books. Overall a very good series.

Naturally Erikson still rules the Universe....

I LOVE THEM TOO.

For an Amazon review I attempted to summarise just why they're so damn good:

A Homer fanboy by his own admission, Steven Erikson's work is epic in the true sense of the word; tragic, poetic, and undeniably human. His huge, sprawling world is sculpted with a living, breathing history of hundreds and thousands of great and diverse characters, races, settings, faiths, convergences of power. Characters, be they Gods of great strength and trickery or brooding burdened mortals, begin shrouded in mystery yet gradually unfold to paint themselves upon the great canvas that is the plot, creating layer upon complex layer, ensuring their tiny part in something so much greater. Every path is held up by the bones of those who came before, the living thrive in the midst of dissolution and decay, the dead haunt all corners. From the intense, vivid scenes of war to the most personal of struggles, from the metaphor and Natural insight littering page after page to the masterful humour fashioning a balance with what can often be a very serious, dark and violent tale, the sheer humanity of this work renders it the most astounding piece of fantasy in decades.
