Malazan Book of the Fallen - Steven Erikson

Author
Time
This thread is dedicated to the widely acclaimed novels that comprise the "Malazan Book of the Fallen" series, written by Canadian writer Steven Erikson.

Since there are many books in the series, it would be silly to start making a thread for each and everyone of them, as well as their "SPOILER ALERT" ccounter parts.

The books so far are as follows:

Gardens of the Moon
Deadhouse Gates
Memories of Ice
House of Chains
Midnight Tides
The Bonehunters
Reaper's Gale

There are three more to be released, next one is set for 2008.

The books can be described as epic fantasy.

Since there will be posts (I hope there will be posts) with spoilers in them, I suggest we write as such - in order to avoid people having read a spoiler they did not intend to read.

----------

GARDENS OF THE MOON SPOILER

This book is written by Steven Erikson, and he is from Canada.
In my opinion it is written in english, but it has been translated into other languages as well. It has more than a hundred pages, but less than ten thousand.
What do you think the weather should be lilke tomorrow?

And if there is no spoiler, we would still need to specifiy which book we are talking about, although it will be hard without spoilers.

DEADHOUSE GATES

Am I the only one that thinks that Formula 1 is much better than NASCAR?

I'll start off, but won't go into details of specific books.

I've only read the first three, and they have absolutely blown my mind away. The plots, subplots, subsubplots and the epic is very well written and once it grabs onto you, it will not let go. You don't want to let go either. The magic system he uses is extremely intriguing and interesting and more facets of it are presented to you with every book.

PS: The Gardens of the Moon and Deadhouse Gates examples are pure gibberish and are only meant to show how we might do this.

If it were possible to write in the same colour as the grey-blue background, it would be very useful. Spoilers could then be written in that colour and those that are interested will have to highlight it.
