Funnily enough I was thinking the exact same thing.

Right, well, it's off to the bibliotheque for me, then. Sounds fabulous.

Actually, that would make a good book-jacket blurb.

"A masterpiece" — Stephen King

"Stunning and engaging" — Michael Baldwin

"Aaaarrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" — Jason Taverner

So eloquently put I have nothing to add but... Me too! Me too! :)
 
Me three, me three! Does anyone else have dreams about the characters?...Don't look at me like that! I can't help it...
 
I am about 300 pages into The Bonehunters now and I can't believe how much I have missed this story! As I said in another thread, The Bonehunters was sitting there and I was struggling to finish Kate Elliott's Child of Flame. I finally set a bookmark in it and set it aside and since then I have been in a much better mood. I will finish the Erikson book and go back to Kate's book.

Her book is good but with a story like the Malazan Book of the Fallen waiting I found I could not stop thinking about it and that seemed to completely distract me from Kates book. I think I will enjoy Kate's story a lot more once I have completed The Bonehunters.

Well I've recently completed Kate's COS series and I found that Burning Stone and Child Of Flame slowed down the overall pace of the story but happily it really picked up speed again in the final 3 books. Overall a very good series.

Naturally Erikson still rules the Universe....:D
 
I LOVE THEM TOO.

For an Amazon review I attempted to summarise just why they're so damn good:

A Homer fanboy by his own admission, Steven Erikson's work is epic in the true sense of the word; tragic, poetic, and undeniably human. His huge, sprawling world is sculpted with a living, breathing history of hundreds and thousands of great and diverse characters, races, settings, faiths, convergences of power. Characters, be they Gods of great strength and trickery or brooding burdened mortals, begin shrouded in mystery yet gradually unfold to paint themselves upon the great canvas that is the plot, creating layer upon complex layer, ensuring their tiny part in something so much greater. Every path is held up by the bones of those who came before, the living thrive in the midst of dissolution and decay, the dead haunt all corners. From the intense, vivid scenes of war to the most personal of struggles, from the metaphor and Natural insight littering page after page to the masterful humour fashioning a balance with what can often be a very serious, dark and violent tale, the sheer humanity of this work renders it the most astounding piece of fantasy in decades.
 
It is still only August? Are you sure? :(

Bother, time seems to stand still when you are waiting for the next volume in a series :(
 
The good news is that Reaper's Gale has been written, so any delays are purely the publisher's fault.
 
I can't wait really really can't wait I may explode. I've been giving them to my friend at work to read he wasn't too sure but now he can't stop ready Deadhouse Gates has seriously moved him like it did to us all I think. I spreading Erikson as much as possible
 
If you do really love this series you should try out his Blood Follows and Healthy Dead They are a spin off of the dirty necromancers and i found them quite amusing there was definently a darker humor in these to. He also writes as Steven Ludin if any of you are interested. Korbal Broach doesnt get a lot of play time in these They are more about the man servant Emacipor Reese and his dealing with the two of them.
