One of the things that supposedly makes Malazan more "adult" and "gritty" than a lot of mainstream fantasy is the nonchalant way in which Erikson kills of "main" characters. However, I don't see the point in killing off main characters just to bring them back ... it takes away from the shock of their deaths, and makes me think that this isn't as dark and gritty a fantasy work as I thought it would be. Does Erikson ever actually have someone die and not resurrect him / her / it a book or two later? No names! Just yes or no!
