"Memories of Ice" Reading Schedule & Introductory Comments

[Captain Sir Roddy, R.N. (Ret.)]

Here is the reading schedule for the third volume in Steven Erikson's "The Malazan Book of the Fallen" series, Memories of Ice--

April 15th-April 21st: Prologue & Book One (Chapters 1-6);
April 22nd-28th: Book Two (Chapters 7-13);
April 29th-May 5th: Book Three (Chapters 14-20); and
May 6th-May 12th: Book Four (Chapters 21-25) and Epilogue

This is a real humdinger of a novel, folks. First, we are back on the continent of Genabackis with some old friends. Secondly, we gain a ton of knowledge about some of the Elder Races in Erikson's world. Finally, suffice it to say that this is one of the really amazingly beautiful and gut-wrenching tales of the entire series, at least in my humble opinion. Get reading, its a good one! Cheers!

This is my Fave book of all time Christopher...I dont normally cry while reading but I did twice in this book. It's kind of a crying record for me. Beautiful

[Julie]

Way ahead of the reading schedule....I'm half way through this book now!

[Chris]

This is easily my favorite too, of the ones I've read. (That would be the first 5 plus Night of Knives)

Wow!! I've cried more times than I can count in this whole series, the first time was during Coltaine's fall and the second when Mappo helps Stormy and Gesler with the dogs Bent and Roach...

But yeah MiI is a beautiful book and I can't wait to read it again, so many favorite characters in this one and so many great friendships are made! :)

[Amelia]

I thought I'd get a head start on this one too, but I'm certainly not halfway through yet. I've just read the prologue and am partway into the first chapter.

It is definitely a big book. My copy has more than 1000 pages.

[Jason]

I started this one today. I'm looking forward to it, since it has such high praise.

I doubt I will cry, though. But hey, you never know. :)

[Margot]

Ugh Ugh Ugh! I have fallen Sooo far behind. I think I'm on the fourth or fifth chapter now. :-(

[Maggie, The Malazan Queen of Chaos]

lol MargotIt is easy to get behind with this series!

[Margot]

And I'm having doubts as to whether I'll ever be able to catch up.

[Jason]

I am behind, too!

I'm behind on everything. LOL

[Sandra]

The threads remain open so you may chime in at any time.

[Maggie, The Malazan Queen of Chaos]

It's okay if youre behind! We keep talking about this no matter what...lol. Real life can get us behind easily. The threads stay open so chime in when you are ready

[Jason]

Thanks, guys! I should be back on the horse soon! :)

[Shelley]

Haven't heard from folks in a while so I just wanted to check and see how everybody is doing!!?? Shells:)

[Maggie, The Malazan Queen of Chaos]

Shell-where you at?????

[Shelley]

I'm here honey!! :)

[Lee]

So far behind, so many pages to catch up, need more hours in a day. Now to top it off I have Game of Thrones to watch! oh the dilemma.

Just started book 2 of Memories, loving it, great having the Bridgeburners back and I am happy to see Toc the Younger back too, I enjoy this character, he has a great dry sense of humour.

Can't wait for when Paran finds out about Felisin, a the possibilities of a family reunion.

Still wondering when the historian will be making a return, but I guess that it might not be in this book at all.

[Maggie, The Malazan Queen of Chaos]

Memories really is my favorite of all Lee...I only had one issue with it, and it gets cleared up later! So Happy Day!

I wont spoil anything for you...RAFO!

[Shelley]

And Memories is a great set up book for the rest of the series, so keep reading Lee and let us know how you are doing!! :)
