1 Gardens of the Moon: Hmm, weird book. Not great but interesting.
2 Deadhouse Gates: This is fantastic fantasy with strong historical notes, amazing.
3 Memories of Ice: A brutal uncompromising book, enjoyable.
4 House of Chains: The first half is innovative, brilliant as far as modern fantasy goes.
5 Midnight Tides: Kind of a weird departure but ok.
6 The Bonehunters: I guess they had to follow up deadhouse
7 Reaper's Gale: hmm, this isnt very good
8 Toll the Hounds: this sucks
9 Dust of Dreams: (200 pages in) I have better things to read
10 The Crippled God: Probably will never read it.

> I want to get into more fantasy
why do you even want to do that

If you want to read fantasy that's both enjoyable and truly literary, just fucking read it, you won't regret it. It's my favorite book (series) ever

Less enthusiastically this. The novelty wears off very fast. If it's modern and marketed as fantasy, it's better avoided.

6, 7 were great 8 sucked until the end can't remember anything about 9 but 10 was pretty good

How is it compared to Gene Wolfe, like his Wizard Knight series?

I recommend Dragonriders of Pern (the first 5 books mainly) if you want to get into fantasy, not as heavy as Malazan series but still enjoyable bear in mind the writing is more akin to a young adult novel than to Tolkien but don't let that put you off the overrall narrative is complex and fun as hell

also it has Dragons, you can't go wrong with dragons
