the periodic fable posted:i had the same feeling actually starting out on TCG. i dunno, in order to care about characters i really need to remember what they're about and their storyline and erikson is juggling SO MANY by the end of this series that it's hard to keep track of them all. The main thing I struggle with are the minor Bonehunters. Lots of those characters were just not as memorable as the BB's where way back when, but they were still cool enough to make me regret not remembering them properly.

Done with TCG. Let's see: "That's not nice. [...] I don't like fighting." "I have had [...] enough [...] -of- [...] your- [...] justice! [next scene]" e. What we obviously need is a Jaghut series because they are by far the most awesome characters in all the books. No other POVs. Just Jaghuts. Some Tyrant, Hood, Gothos. Nice and simple.

Scorvi posted:Telorast and Curdle: TCG spoilers I'm fairly sure that they died/were destroyed during Silchas Ruin's attack on the dragons attacking the otataral dragon. I can't recall precisely, but I think they became bound to Ruin's hust sword like the other 3 dragons from Kurald Emurlan when they veered. It's mentioned near the end of the book that only 3 dragons are left. While I don't remember if any names were mentioned, I suspect Telorast and Curdle weren't among the "survivors" I never got what the hell they were supposed to be anyway. Can't even remember where they came from.

Korlat(TCG)Sandalath was raped by a non-Tiste Andii. I always thought it was Draconus and that's why Anomander killed him. Guess it could have been Tulas Shorn, but that wouldn't have been such a secret(ie. Anomander killed him to keep a secret but Sand/Korlat weren't so private with this...

Illuyankas posted:There's a small problem with that, called the MOI prologue. I doubt Rake would have waited to deal with Draconus until after the Crippled God fell, 120,000 years before Burn's Sleep and two hundred thousand years or so after the events in Kharkanas. Totally forgot anything about that.

Karsa would have beaten the crap out of her with his bare hands and everyone knows it. I still like how he resolved that thread just because it was unexpected and fresh.

Mythology is fantasy that's really old. If someone wrote Jane Eyre today we wouldn't call the work genius we'd call it terrible. The social and literary context contemporary to the writing of a work is important in evaluating it.

So Enduring Suffering, Noble Sacrifice and Petty Tediousness are the new gods of war?

wellwhoopdedooo posted:It's not nearly as bad as practically every other sex scene in a book I've ever read. I like both books in the series so far. I never found the writing boring, which the Malazan books were at time. That being said the plot and world are much weaker. It's lighter in many senses but certainly not trash fantasy. It's a decent, if flawed work, that deserves to be mentioned with other quality fantasy series that have been popping up recently.
