Malazan

[close] A group for fans of the large-scale adventures and engaging characters found in the Epic Fantasy genre. We are social and talk about the books we read here. Join the conversation! Group Rules: 1. Be kind and respectful. 2. Members are expected to comment at least occasionally. 3. Self-promotion is not allowed, except with prior moderator approval.

[close] Welcome to the unofficial book club for Steven Erikson's high fantasy series, Malazan Book of the Fallen. We have already completed the first book, and we've moved on to book two. Don't let that dissuade you from joining at any point! The series is not for the faint of heart or for the most casual of fantasy fans (10 books long). Weekly discussions can be found in the discussion section and are live when the reading period begins. The schedule can be found below and will be continually updated when necessary. PLEASE READ: since we'll obviously be posting while we read, please use spoiler tags for discussion posts. Label your post with where you are referring to, for example something like "Spoilers up to Chapter 2" so that people who haven't read to that point yet know to avoid while others who have read past that point can feel safe reading your post. After the end date for each weekly reading, spoilers for that week will no longer be required. Please message me or any of the other seasoned readers in here if you have any questions, or feel free to post any questions here. The all important Malazan Reread of the Fallen resource: https://www.tor.com/series/malazan-reread-of-the-fallen/ Reading Schedule: (Currently reading the second book, Deadhouse Gates) Week One: May 7th-13th - prologue, chapters 1-2 Week Two: May 14th-20th - chapters 3-5 Week Three: May 21st-27th - chapters 6-7

[close] A discussion & recommendation group for readers who love fantasy/scifi tomes ie Lord of the Rings, Malazan Book of the Fallen, The Faithfull and the Fallen, The Culture series etc. Sprawling worlds, huge casts, continental wars or deep immersion into realms following characters you can stay with for months if not years. No quick read sub 100k words here. Hell, we're pushing 200k words and more for these reads.

[close] We will be reading Steven Erikson's Malazan Book of the Fallen ten-part series for fun, and this is not a group that is supposed to be a drag for the rest of the people, and it is only a group that you should join if you want to.
