I have read Steven Erikson’s first four Malazan novels and would like some advice as to whether or not to continue. You can read my reviews (published over the last two weeks) on my homepage.
Your thoughts folks …

Hi Lily, I just read the first four and am 100 pages into the 5th. My friend who read all 10 books highly recommended the series to me, though he did say the 5th book is a bit slow until it (like all the books so far) concludes very excitingly.
What I like and expressed to my friend soliciting his recommendation on series to read are:
– completed series or close enough by the time I get through the books
– good conclusion to the series, as in major stories concluded and concluded well, and ideally good conclusions per each book
– obviously good writing and great story lines

I really would like to pick up this series again, especially as I have made a considerable commitment to it already.
I love the characters and I find Erikson’s dialogue very naturalistic.
Your comment has inspired me.
Thanks for dropping by x
