Ilustration To Books The Complete Malazan Book of the Fallen (Malazan Book of the Fallen #1-10)
Nothing to see here, traveler. Move along. Just me tracking my UMCRO progress. What is UMCRO? While, it's an Ultimate Malazan Chronological Reading Order, silly. 1.) Forge of Darkness 3.83 ✔ 2.) Fall of Light 3.91 ✔ 3.) Walk in Shadow* 4.) Dancer's Lament 3 ✔ 5.) Deadhouse Landing 2.83 ✔ 6.) Kellanved's Reach* 7.) Night of Knives 2.33 ✔ 8.) Blood Follows 2 ✔ 9.) The Lees of Laughter's End 3 ✔ 10.) The Wurms of Blearmouth 3 ✔ 11.) Gardens of the Moon 3.66 ✔ 12.) Deadhouse Gates 4 ✔ 13.) Memories of Ice 4.25 ✔ 14.) The Healthy Dead 3 ✔ 15.) Crack'd Pot Trail 4 ✔ 16.) The Fiends of Nightmaria 3 ✔ 17.) Midnight Tides 4.16 ✔ 18.) House of Chains 3.41 ✔ 19.) The Bonehunters 3.58 ✔ 20.) Return of the Crimson Guard 2 ✔ 21.) Reaper's Gale 3.83 ✔ 22.) Stonewielder 3 ✔ 23.) Toll the Hounds 3.33 ✔ 24.) Goats of Glory 4 ✔ 25.) Orb, Sceptre, Throne 3 ✔ 26.) Blood and Bone 4 ✔ 26.) Assail 3 ✔ 26.) Dust of Dreams 3.58 ✔ 29.) The Crippled God 30.) The God is Not Willing* ------------------------------------ All books written by both Steven Erikson and Ian C. Esslemont about Malazan world. And I'm reading them chronologically. That's it. I told you there's nothing to see here. Except the list of 30 books. But you probably aren't interested in it. Late in 2017 authors themselves suggested chronological reading order. Which, of course, caused a lot of stir among fandom. Because, obviously fandom being fandom, always knows better than creators themselves, right? :D But seriously. There were some fair criticisms out there. About spoilers, about key plots being ruined, even about boosting sails... Overall, fans simply, out of love for these series, expressed concern that new readers, who decided to follow that reading order, won't have that same phenomenal experience as they did. So, I decided to test this, to tweak my 'Suggested by Fans' reading order and adapt it to that of which authors prefer. My opinion, since I'm on half of it? New readers: Move away from this reading order and start with nothing else but Gardens of the Moon, first book in Malazan Book of the Fallen series and then continue onward by the order books were published. Fans: If you like puzzles, you'll like this suggested chronological reading order. Various parts of history are scattered all around in unfinished trilogies and new series and whatnot. And you get to collect them, all the way to crescendo of Crippled God, final book of the series, and you get to see complete picture. That's not necessarily the same picture you have seen for the first time.

Over 8,000 pages and 3 years of reading. AMAZING. Usually fantasy reads are escapist, not this series. Real issues are tackled, everything from rape, to greed, and compassion. The characters are vibrant, not your run of the mill characters. Each character is fleshed out, and tidbits of their past are teased and you feel as if any of those could in themselves be a story line to follow. The characterization is so great that you feel their pains, and triumphs, and deaths.The compassion theme isErikson actually created a very vivid and interesting world with different races/species, gods,magic, huge epic battles, and a lot of history. However Erikson is a very inconsistent storyteller. On one hand there was never any central narrative drive to the series. Although the ending shows something that might have been an ultimate goal, we never even receive any vague hints regarding it as the series progresses. Nor was this really a character driven narrative because of the too many POV's,
Definetely 5 stars, maybe more. An unconventional, smart, complex, titanic in scale fantasy Epic, spanning two empires, four continents and countless characters, from street urchins and soldiers to Gods and Primordial powers.It is mostly arcane, with the writer offering very little clarifications, instead it tells you all you need to know through half-told words, stories and excerpts from texts, often answering questions books before they come up in the story.This can sometimes be frustrating
Arguably on of the best fantasy series ever written and 10 book series was written in 10 years (take that GRRMartin!)Can't be described as anything other than gritty from start to finish, this is one unpredictable series.I should read it again as I read it in order from when there were only two books out. One of the few series I felt compelled to donate to prison library I used to work at as I wanted others to enjoy it and not have to wait until I had the budget money to buy them.
The most amazing thing I have read, just that.Steven did something incredible with this story, it has this incredibly huge cast of characters and this worldwide setting with different cultures and values, it even has a lot of races, all unique in their own right and yet he managed to weave all together into a beautiful seamless story; that you only get to appreciate as you advance with the books , what I'm trying to say is he's hellish good as a writer. Yet complexity is not a reason for which I
Quite possibly the greatest fantasy epic I've ever read.If you are a fan of fantasy, science fiction, military fiction or even mythology, this series has it.Initially reading it can be hard, the first book is (deliberately) confusing and vague in parts. Read on, and you will find yourself enthralled.
I originally read the first eight books in this series as they came out. Psyched to be reading this series again, in one complete collection no less! As there are a total of ten books, however, I will update this review as I go...[Gardens of the Moon]As the first entry into this epic series, Gardens of the Moon introduces us to many of the major players and lays the groundwork for what's to come later on. We learn exactly who and what the Malazan Empire is; we're even given a small glance at the
