Newest Esslemont book titled Dancer's Lament came out a week ago, and Ericksons Fall of Light is slated for April. Books in the main series or books in the spinoff series and novellas count as well.

Internet Explorer Favourite Manga Don't read manga	It's about a lot of stuff, I'd have to write paragraphs on it and I'd probably spoil parts of most of the books while doing it. It's an excellent high/epic fantasy series and I recommend you check it out. The world/setting of Malazan, Book of the Fallen came about from a heavily modified D&D campaign but there is absolutely 0 elements of D&D in the books themselves. The magic system and bestiary are unique to the world, with the exception of Dragons, them being a fairly common monster throughout almost all fantasy books in general. Expect battles where raging armies clash and battles where demi-gods and even gods themselves clash. There's even mage battles too. There's also a ton of character development as you watch some characters really grow up from children to women and men.

Chrome	Yeah, each of the ten books usually focuses on a few main protagonists but almost all of them are revisited at least two or three times, and for the ones that aren't it's just because their story arc ends or they die. All of the main main ones are characterized as f*** and I didn't really notice a lot of the classic high-fantasy tropes which was refreshing. The mage battles are the most boner-inducing sections I've ever read in any book but sadly they're pretty few and far between since most of the characters are just regular soldiers and don't use magic. The magic system itself is, like Richard said, really unique and interesting. There are a few main storylines it jumps between but I think they all connect in some way. Maybe some don't but I don't remember. It's kinda jarring sometimes especially when the timeline isn't completely linear but after a while it will start to make sense. I never felt confused, just a little disoriented I just finished the Black Company series which was a major influence on this one and it's super obvious lmfao. But I like Malazan way better just because of the amount of world building and characterization and actual emotional moments Also there's no comma in the title. It's just Malazan Book of the Fallen, as in the book of the fallen of the Malazan empire. Small thing but it just annoys me idk why
	thx accelerator for the sig it is my first sig ever and i love it and i love u

Reminds me of Tolkien's works, though the Malazan books are probably not as humongous.

There was nothing particularly wrong with it but it never grabbed me at all, honestly I was just kind of bored with it. Anomander Rake was a badass but there wasn't enough in there to keep me reading, which you really need considering it's a ten book series.

It gets better, and a lot of people who have stopped at Gardens of the Moon and then pick up the series at a later date say the same.
