malazan book of the fallen. Never had the time to finish It, I read more than Half of It, I had It on google play, my phone broke, tried to return to it but I got pretty lost trying to re-read it, Its super High Fantasy, Follows a Kingdom's rise and fall over a millennia, I only got to about 200 years In :sad: It was hit and miss at times in the beginning but you get hooked around the 300th page XD, many things going on at once, A bit like Game of Thrones (Both were written around the same time, so they couldnt have copied each other, but they both take inspiration from the same sources and It shows) basically you switch between 3 groups and about 5-10 people per group, First group Is the Empire of Malaz, second Is Its Rivals (A City-State, a "Moon" that seemingly floats around and filled with Dark Elves, and a Nomad Warlord) and "Other" which Include allies of the Empire (These bug-race-people that fly on bugs that remind me of Stilt Striders) the gods, and the "chosen one" .

 

I really liked It once I got Into It, would def recommend It if you have nothing better to do or have a good memory, It was over 700 pages long and that is just the first of the series, they are not told In order, some take place after the fall, some take place stone age times before with more alien races (one race looks like those aliens that made clone troopers) One thing I really loved about It was the romance and character twists, like the chosen one, who was at the time 22, described as handsome, chiseled jawline, always well groomed noble but his love interest Is a 50 something Tarot-Card Sorceress who is described as wrinkled, short, pudgy, greying hair shooting all directions, somehow make sweet love and care deeply about one another, before they meet however the same Sorceress was In a relationship with a 91 year old Wizard who, only during love time would use his magics to look like a 18 year old boy. (also the chosen one comments that she is beautiful all the time so as far as I read, I assumed she was using a glamour. My favorite character Is a Wizard named Kruppe, An Obese Wizard who flamboyantly walks through the markets using his magics to pick-pocket passersby.
