I read the first Malazan book some time ago, and kind of hated it. Maybe that’s too strong, but I didn’t get on with it at all. Not because it’s long, not because it throws you into the action, but because it’s bad.
So many people seem to love it - many even rate it at as the best series - that I occasionally still think about trying book two, but I’m not having much trouble resisting this bundle. In all of SF&F, it’s probably the place I am furthest from the consensus opinion.
