I looked it up and there is no such thing as Steven Erikson but he's still understood to be a much better writer than the other two. Also did you know that Manitoba is a real place that actually exists? all this time I thought it was like more of an allegory than an actual place where people live. thnx wikipedia

Steven Erikson is a fantastic fantasy writer and his Malazan series really is sublime. Better than Glen Cook's Black Company series even!

I wish I was better at conceptualizing some of his ideas though, they can go a bit over my head. There's a lot of philosophy in his writings.

Probation
Can't post for 13 hours!
Nor again is there anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain of itself, because it is pain, but occasionally circumstances occur in which toil and pain can procure him some great pleasure. To take a trivial example, which of us ever undertakes laborious physical exercise, except to obtain some advantage from it? But who has any right to find fault with a man who chooses to enjoy a pleasure that has no annoying consequences, or one who avoids a pain that produces no resultant pleasure?

On the other hand, we denounce with righteous indignation and dislike men who are so beguiled and demoralized by the charms of pleasure of the moment, so blinded by desire, that they cannot foresee the pain and trouble that are bound to ensue; and equal blame belongs to those who fail in their duty through weakness of will, which is the same as saying through shrinking from toil and pain.

Wikipedia posted:

The Malazan world was co-created by Steven Erikson and Ian Cameron Esslemont in the early 1980s as a backdrop to their GURPS roleplaying campaign.

So his magnum opus is 10,000 pages of fluff for a GURPS game.

I think his self insert characters were the ascendant characters who only showed up to deus ex machina the story a couple times, it wasn't bad, he's definitely better than the other two

Also robert jordan wrote more books than GRRM while he was dead, makes you think

george rr martin is a fat piece of poo poo who wrote three good fantasy novels, after which he has been baiting his fans for years. the rest of his body of work is goony garbage with lead characters who are fat pieces of poo poo based on himself

robert jordan was for the most part a hack fantasy writer who wrote a few pieces of entertaining but predicable genre with some admittedly above average world-building. he then repeated writing the same book for years and deliberately stretched out the story to earn cash, at which point everyone sane stopped reading and it was eventually finished by another hack fantasy writer whose only writing talent is creating gimmick magic systems

steven erikson is reputed to be a good writer, but only fat unemployed neckbeards can vouch for this as no one else has the time to read and understand his near impenetrable series

Yeah, well, that's just your opinion, man.

On the other hand, he did some very nice stuff earlier in his career, what's kind of funny is that his main claim to fame before the big bloated fantasy series was some very sharp and focused short stories.
