Malazan book of the fallen

No. You could read Homer, Virgil, Dante, Milton and the Bible as well as the whole commentary of Thomas Aquinas on the Gospels instead. Comparatively, what would you say is worth your time? A bunch of beautiful and timeless works or a contemporary 10 volume fantasy enjoyed by nerds only?

>page for page comparison

I really hope you don't read Milton at the same speed as you would with Game of Thrones

This would be about 1/2 of the page count of Malazan, but you are right.

First book is cringe awful. Malazan fans talk a good talk about how it doesn't hold your hand, drops you in the middle etc. It is mcfiction through and through with vague info dumping. Read Joyce instead. Dark fantasy: First Law Trilogy.

I haven't read Malazan but if you think The First Law is good your opinion is worthless.

Dante's the only worthy one to read in that lot.

Also, rather than Malazan, read this instead: https://vndb.org/v2016
