I discovered Mistborn while playing the Dishonored series for the first time. They both blew my mind. To this day they feel linked to me in vibe, and I haven't found anything quite like them. The Malazan talk is getting me hyped back up for Memories of Ice.

Go for it Trevor! I’ve restarted my re-read with “Reaper’s Gale” this month, and it’s so good to be back. 🙂

@@MattonBooks once I'm back from vacation! I'm packing a few paperbacks instead of my memories of ice hardcover that would require it's own checked bag 😅

[@MattonBooks]

@sw3dge Hah! 😆 This explains why I bought a Kindle about 10 years ago, when I was travelling a lot.

Britton has a point regarding Malazan, the fandom doesn't do itself many favours but most of the people hyping up the challenge and difficulty, from my experience, are those that bounced off of or don't like the series.

[@MattonBooks]

Could be true, Rogue. I can understand some people finding it difficult, but I think that mostly is just a result of it being quite different from “typical” fantasy, not because it’s inherently difficult.
