| Flamer of Udun | Re: Just finished GOTM Damn, you guys really got my appetite whipped up. I think I'm going to give Erikson a try very very soon. I have a feeling that I'm not gonna be as confused with GotM as many people seem to be, so that's one negative point done with, leaving.. ermm.. zero! |

| Flamer of Udun | Re: Just finished GOTM Khale, I'm still not convinced . I have this built-in trust in writers that they will provide the necessary information all in good time. I don't need everything to be clear to me at most points. It's when the story is finished and some things are still not clear that makes me pull my hairs out. Besides, I also have this natural talent to just ignore the bits that don't make sense, until they do. They never seem to affect my enjoyment of a book |

Ok, I follow you now and agree. It was my understanding that people posting that the story was confusing were merely referring to the fact that story-lines can be confusing "at that time" and you just have to trust that you will figure it out later when more information is available. That certainly is the case when you get to Deadhouse Gates. In my opinion, that book made the plot in Gardens seem as simplistic as a child's book. Nonetheless, I thought both were very good. Here is a snippet from a review of DG that I thought was very entertaining and accurate: Quote:

There also the side novellas though smaller in volume that were written as well. They cover the travels of two characters that appear in Memories of Ice. So when it comes to the Malazan world there is quite a bit of reading out there. | |

| Flamer of Udun | Re: Just finished GOTM Hey guys, guess what? I just got myself GotM!! So far, so good ![]() Btw, the copy I have says it has a new foreword by the author. It's quite illuminating, too. I'm not sure just how new this new foreword really is, but if you guys want me to quote it here, I can do that (unless this would infringe on any copyright acts?). - Dreir - |

Whilst Martin has taken up to 5 years between books ![]() One of the reasons why, when I have so much else to read, I started on Erikson first - no time to start on A Song of Ice and Fire and leave myself hanging. | |
