If you ask for recommendations in fantasy groups and boards, Malazan is mentioned a lot -- in both regular and grimdark groups. Then, you'll have people complaining that they couldn't get into the first book because it's really long, you're thrust into the middle of the world, and there are a
lot of characters -- and no obvious main character. And then fans tell them they should try reading it again and point out that it will be worth it.
I think the Malazan books might be even longer than the Tad Williams books, so you're getting your money's worth.
Here's
an article about the series from The Wertzone.
