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.

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 II 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
A warning, this will be a long review because I wanted to review the entire series together instead of each individual book. There will be spoilers. The Malazan Book of the Fallen series by Steven Erikson has to be my favorite fantasy series of all time. The ambitious scope, character development, world building, and overall plot cohesiveness set this story apart from other fantasy series I have read including the works of Tolkien, Jordan, Sanderson, Brooks, Martin, Pratchett, and other greats.
The series has changed the way I think, It's so heart-wrenching because it's so relatable and yet so alien. I struggle to put into words how scarily intriguing this series is. I've just finished it for the first time and there were so many times where I could only read a paragraph or chapter before having to get up and go leave my brain to untangle all the bits and pieces my heart couldn't. The vocabulary and language is advanced and it fist glance I ended up carrying my dictionary with my book
It's with a heavy heart that I write this review.As a little background, I finished reading the Wheel of Time (my favourite piece of work) and was seeking an equally epic saga to fill the void that was left behind. After much research, it seemed that the consensus around the internet was that The Malazan Book of the Fallen was the way to go. It was touted as a harder read but ultimately just as satisfying as WoT, if not more so. So with hope and excited anticipation, in I jumped.The first book
3.5 million words, yet I am left breathless.Humbled. By this.Masterpiece.
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 is
