It's even advertised as the finale of the Malazan series.
That being said, I liked Malazan enough to keep reading all the books, but I would really only recommend it to someone who goes " A 16 book series, each book 1000 pages, and a nearly incomprehensible plot without a glossary? Sold!"

Sorry, but Eriksons 10 books are in my opinion a completed series. Assail is merely the conclusion of Esslemonts stories who happened to pick up some story elements from Erikson. And I thought it is a bad conclusion and probably the worst of Esslemonts books. If you only read Erikson, you have a complete story.
