Forget polite introductions and sedate world-building because Erikson’s opener is a merciless drag through war, politics, questing and magic which may swamp and baffle less dedicated Fantasy fans.
Gardens of the Moon may be overpopulated and over-plotted but Erikson holds chaos at bay with genius page-turning prose and infectious enthusiasm.
With a little more focus and honing the Malazan Books could achieve brilliance.

It’s a series that requires a big investment, in time and concentration, you sound like the right man for the job Philip! I ended up scribbling notes on characters on my bookmark to help me keep track.
