Because of first book most people quit. Thats Malazans biggest weakness. Author throws you in this world without explaining anything and you need to get hold of everything. Gardens of the moon shines in re-read. If you have will try to continue!

I felt very similar about The Eye of the World, even with the glossary. But I am so happy I stuck with it.

I found taking a break between each book helped. Refreshed me and made it less of a slog.

I disagree. I think the 300,000 year history is a feat, and the actual world is incredibly diverse, but it’s a huge commitment for what I don’t think has been worth the payoff. I have enjoyed it, but I’d never put it on an essential list.
