From a frustrated roommate many years ago, I was given Gardens of the Moon by Steven Erikson. The complaint was that it was simply too difficult to follow the plot since the author hits the ground running and expects the reader to use their brains a little and to show some patience. I was immediately hooked! At the time, three of the expected ten books were already published and I reveled in every word and every year after that, a new book in the series was faithfully published. Yes, it’s an enormous world with characters beyond count. Sure, there are many factions, rivalries and loyalties to suss out and remember. The minutia and details do matter, sometimes to a point of annoyance. But the overall philosophy (Yes, this series is highly philosophical) of the series known as A Tale of the Malazan Book of the Fallen carries, in my opinion, such crucial moral significance and is delivered with beautiful brutality and grace, that it has now become my measuring stick for reading material.
