When is Burn going to wake up and throw down the hammer A? #ColorlessBlueDreamsSleepKawaii #AWCY

You were making really good stuff man! You should start making videos again!

I started reading this series in 2012, made it to book 9, and have pretty much stopped reading for years now. But I want to finish the series and needed to refresh my memory. So thanks for the great summary. Also, I noticed the Hollow Knight music. Nice touch!

If you close your eyes, this is almost Arnold Schwarzenegger narrating a compendium of Malazan Gods.

Thanks for the great summary!

I’ve never read any fantasy before in my life hahah in fact I’m new to fiction but I decided to start with malazan and I don’t regret anything . I’m halfway on the first book . Very hard book to put down . Thanks for your video

Would you please say "Get to tha choppa!" just once?

I love reading a 600+ page book, and then learning how others pronounce names and locations. haha. Nice video!

Malazan isn't difficult, it's just daunting until you understand what you're getting into, then it becomes a rather easy book to understand (No one wins). Overall the main gripe most people have with Malazan is the SLOG of the starting series of books. Gardens of the Moon is, by all accounts, a boring book. One of my favorites next to Memories of Ice but, still boring. If someone forces themself through that and gets to Dead House Gates, they're in for ANOTHER, boring book, largely split between 3 major character groups. The Sha'ik reborn and her two wacky friends, The Seventh and their struggles and side characters thrown in until the end. Memories of Ice is where the "Malazan books" finally find some footing. Difficult book? No. Tedious as all hell if you're not prepared for the chapter level slogs you'll be going through for plot threads like Way of Kings that won't have any conclusion until Crippled God 7+ books later? Yes.

Unrelated but you're kinda cute hehe

Sweet recap!!!

Thanks, cool summary, just today finished Gardens.

I have read this book three times and still don't know what is happening. I've heard I'm not the only one but that the series becomes one of the best fantasy series of all time if you can get past it? Is this true on any level?

Nice review I have read gardens of the moon recently and it was a wonderful journey (in my native language).I want very much continued with series but unfortunately the following do not exist, so the vocabulary is quite difficult for me,i am almost onto B2 level

Good recap. I will say the overall series is pretty good, but GTOM is written very poorly. To have so many get confused is pretty bad in my opinion. I do think it was a script, converted to a book which would explain the poor and confusing scenes. The writing does improve as the series goes on. It’s a good series of books, but this book is a bad start

This series is like a textbook that you don't want to read but you kinda want to read. And while doing so have to make notes about each event and characters to latter analyze for answers.

Thanks Miro. That was a very good recap. I remember being quite confused while reading this, and your recap helped me understand it a bit better.

Extremely well done summary. Need more of these!

Great thanks for this and really well summarised. I’m about to go on Holiday, bringing Deadhouse Gates with me and this video was the perfect summary I needed as a reminder of events in Gotm

LOTR. Not in the top five? 🤦🏾‍♂️

Is that hollow night music in the back ground. I know it but can’t place it

OK, let me be a contrarian list. All the reasons why you should not read these books. 1. Bad world building. This is only a problem for book one book 2 dramatically improves on this nonetheless I put it here since it is a problem book one 3. Depressing. Don’t get me wrong I like my share of dark and depressing storylines. Who doesn’t like a tragedy every now and then this was a little too much at least for me. If you like, feeling emotions, other than depression, I would not recommend these books. 2. Contradictory themes: the author really needs to decide whether he wants to have themes of nihilism or will power. He can’t have both. Either humans are the poor victims of forces beyond their understanding, or we have the power to challenge the very gods themselves but he cannot have both. Pointless plot lines: book to a particularly guilty of this as there is an entire plot line that literally goes nowhere. making the reader feel like they wasted their time.

3:39 Yeah, but it's not "more realistic." It's not "unrealistic" people do behave that way sometimes. But it is more common to eventually more or less deal with that kind of thing. We wouldn't be a very successful species if we couldn't do that. 6:25 As previously stated the girl will likely be fine. So obviously the boy that was killed. I guess I'll have to be the stick in the mud boyscout here and say we shouldn't kill, exploit, and grape children not because they might become traumatized, they likely won't. But because you shouldn't do those things to anyone.

I need a video like this for every book in the series 😅

Thank you for doing this. This series is definitely a lot to take in.

They were a hard read for me. My husband FINALLY started them lol. He’s on book 2 and has picked up on everything. Very annoying 😆😆. They’re really special to me. Can’t say exactly why but I will never want to stop rereading them ❤. Thanks for your video

A good author knows how to grab the readers attention and keep it. Not the other way around.

Malazan are the most emotional and thought provoking books I've ever read , though i must admit its not for everyone , but if you get it you will love it ,

I'm on book five and I don't really think it is necessarily hard to read, but it can be very puzzling for sure. I have to focus and really pay attention, more than with most books.

I thoughe she is yang dong...

Best intro ever.

Is it as difficult as the Silmarillion?

"Physics Doesn't Exist" is just a the 'in vogue' term to get interest from sci-fi readers. It's within the book where it is stated. Physics is what mankind built up based relativity. But the book transmits an idea that what if the quantum world presents other worlds that exist where another form of sentient life exists under other conditions. Its evident in the book that its not a 1:1 human existence therefore its really weird to actually let that term Physics doesn't exist to persuade the reader into the reality of the book.

lovely refresher!

The best part about knowing less is getting to learn more

I just found you channel because I finished Gardens of the Moon and watched your recap video to make sure I understood everything. If you haven't read the wheel of time yet, you should.

Nice work. Please keep it up.

I've only read the first 2 books so far but I didn't think they were confusing at all. And I also Loved Gardens of the Moon much more than the 2nd book Deadhouse Gates. I know, Crazy! For Both books though, they are just Amazing and just another level above Most other modern fantasy out there. I am thinking I'm ready to tackle Book 3 Memories of Ice. Gonna be some more Awesome Malazan Goodness!

Are they on the same level of difficulty with "The Darkness that Comes Before"?

Spot on my friend

Thanks, its good reminder before second book.

I think you need more than 5 minutes 😘

Nice man. Thanks for the video.

You dont blink xD. Still find you cute and handsome as hell. Dating someone now? Into Girls? Guys? Both? I read Fire and Blood way before the show so I already knew what was going to happen in House of the Dragon and I wasnt deceived. Now I get to have the story as I imagined it in my head and that of the show. Which is nice to have two visions of the same thing. This book is more a history crónicles than an actual book.

Well done. Didn't expect it to be so spoiler free, but somehow you did it hood take us all

Do this for all the books big dawg 😂

Honestly, it's how Erikson uses children in his books. He throws it all on the table: war spares no one, not the kids, not the elderly, and not the civilian. His characters, even those that aren't named, aren't just there for show. Kids don't just grow out of trauma. If it's never properly addressed, or handled, it can grow out of control as the child screams into a silent void. Children themselves aren't even innocent ask the time. The two nameless Tiste children are great examples. But there are also kids that aren't innocent because they were changed in ways they never knew. Kettle, for instance. She's not innocent, but she not bad, either. Kettle grew up in a way that you might image a vampire turned at a young age might turn out to be like. I appreciate that Erikson is honest with the reader. No sugar coating, and no wooden personalities unless that's the point of the character. Not that they don't change but that's where they ended up hollowed out.

Some great picks here mate

Bro this was great, thank you so much! I finished Gardens of the Moon yesterday and it was a blast, but I did have a hard time working out what was going on sometimes 😂😂😂

Honestly, I feel like Gardens is not that hard to understand. Though concepts are thrown at you, they do explain a fair bit of them, or at least the rudimentary working of them. It does have its faults; what first book doesn't? But overall, in my personal opinion, it's a real enjoyable read.
