Re: Your favourite Malazan novel to date

Oooooh let's see. (I've probably already posted in this thread, but meh).

First time round:

MoI
DhG
HoC
GotM
MT
TBH
RG

second time around:

HoC
DhG
MoI
MT
( these three below are all about the same)
GotM
TBH
RG


Strange how things change second time around I think the emotional impact of MoI was lost, second time. There was still one scene that got me crying - the bit where Itkovian tells the Imass he'll take their sorrow, and all their thoughts and memories start flooding him.

One of them thinks something like, 'I dreamed I stood with the First Sword and denied the ritual,' and that really got to me. Beautiful.

But, for the second-timer, I think HoC is the best, info-wise. All those positions in the Houses, laid out and interplaying. Cool
