#Malazan is at its best, well, a best --- Malazan has many best things, when it casually drops a bombshell revelation in a single line. So far Bonehunters has been full of it.

I started reading the Malazan Book of the Fallen series this year and love it; the whole thing is available on a Humble Bundle right now, so I'm the proud owner of the whole series plus some extra goodies now:

I've read half of the #MalazanBookOfTheFallen series, and have now collected my thoughts on them here: https://a-blog-with.relevant-information.com/posts/a_malazan_halfway_retrospective/

It's organized by book and spoilers are hidden so you can safely read it even if you haven't read them all.

Bin dabei, die Malazan Bücher auf Deutsch erneut zu lesen… das letzte Mal habe ich irgendwo bei Band 15 aufgehört. Wenn ich es tatsächlich bis dorthin schaffe, werde ich mir den Rest auch noch kaufen. Wenn! Bis jetzt bin ich ja erst etwa 200 Seiten weit gekommen. Hallo Crokus, Kruppe, K‘rull, Darujhistan. #Malazan

Normally when a story does something interesting I feel like I'm able to isolate how it does it. But I'm really struggling with capturing the feeling that the #Malazan world gives off. It's not just #worldbuilding in the narrow sense (the wiki version of the world) but how much of it that's shown at any given time, and the words used to describe it. It feels like the world is fused to the text.

Man it's really interesting that Erikson and Esselmont decided to make Lethar, the capitalist imperialist country, be a backwaters society that's backwards and not with the times. Otherwise it's common to think that the western society of today (that's pretty similar to Lethar) is the one that has progressed the most. But here we are, with Lethar being only aware of the old and less refined Holds.

Here's a Quick Take episode of my revelations & speculations about Malazan while taking a break from the series between Bks 3 & 4. SPOILERS! Enjoy my pondering... #Malazan #MBotF #Fantasy #SFF https://youtu.be/vIyXzA2ciho

I'm struggling to describe in words how and why, but the world of #Malazan feels like mythological. The world doesn't quite feel real because on some fundamental level it doesn't operate on the same logic as ours. It doesn't feel like it has our physics with just some stuff bolted on that's called magic.

Reading the Y'Ghatan chapters of #TheBonehunters these days feels eerie.

Me too Cotillion, me too.

Was Erikson horny when writing this chapter or what? The amount of "womanly charms" and "manly desires" in this chapter startling.

More generally, that Erikson says that Malazan is a world without sexism is weird to me. It is better than a lot that is out there, but I don't think sexism is fully absent.

Listening to #malazan :
The k'tl'goth opened the elder warren kurald gabbagool and furtively, mysteriously vanished behind the veil of sorcerous energies. 'Eheheee i shall destroy those puny humans utterly hehee' they muttered to themselves in their insanity.

Me: aw hell yea that's the shit

I got Bonehunters from the library today. This edition's cover has a very whimsical vibe to it that clashes with the tone of the series, but on the other hand it has maps that are large enough that I can actually read them.
