They need to add Malazan book of the fallen. Easily my fave fantasy series.

Getting through that first book was sheer willpower

Because of first book most people quit. Thats Malazans biggest weakness. Author throws you in this world without explaining anything and you need to get hold of everything. Gardens of the moon shines in re-read. If you have will try to continue!

I felt very similar about The Eye of the World, even with the glossary. But I am so happy I stuck with it.

He does get better and there is a reason for it all if that helps.

I disagree. I think the 300,000 year history is a feat, and the actual world is incredibly diverse, but it's a huge commitment for what I don't think has been worth the payoff. I have enjoyed it, but I'd never put it on an essential list.
