I read the series as a beginner in the fantasy genre and it was definitely a wild struggle to get through the Malazan books the first time. I have re-read the first two books and currently on Memories of Ice. My experience the second time is much more enjoyable. I think Memories of Ice has been some of the best reading I have ever experienced. I am quite happy that I have endured the Malazan books.

Big kudos for giving Malazan Book of the Fallen its just due. It stands alone for scale and you said it well when you mentioned prose that makes you think. When I read it I remember texting multiple sentences to various friends of mine. From all walks of life. It was that powerful. Huge yes. Confusing yes. Epic redefined. Worth it? Absolutely.

Searched for you on google and can't find it. I follow you for a long time. For example, if MrBeast searches him on Google, he can be found quickly.

You already made me put this on my wishlist 😂. It might bump it up a bit more now. This has been the year of epic fantasy for me. (ASOIAF, Sanderson and currently on WoT book 4)

"When is this author going to turn into the next big thing?" Now... I think it's now.

I made one in Italian with that title to claim exactly the contrary, saying more or less what you're saying here as a reaction to that one (I guess it was the same, spreading all around). The title chosen - in Italian - was to underline how absurd is that claim. Finally someone is reacting in English too. Thanks for that (as a reader *and* writer of epic fantasy).

MbotF one was funny because when you said "It's kind of two people" I said "Who the hell's favorite character is Oponn?"

Just finished this. It is the best in the series by far so far

Great review. Never liked The Gunslinger. Jemisin made me stop paying attention to the Hugo awards. Great work, Matt. You're the equivalent of RUclips's critical drinker for books.

Im not a Stephen King fan at all but even I have to admit that Pet Sematary is a great book and I can guarantee that youwill like it as well, Matt.

This is one of the times I wished I lived in the States so many good hacks and thank you for including the hack of buying a library card for international persons.

Why isn't Christopher Ruocchio getting major genre award nominations?

Bro was right he did not get the book at all

Circe isn't... treated like a hook for other characters? We get in depth perspective of her life from her point of view with themes of growing as a person and feeling out of place. I never got that any other character was more important than Circe. She has many relationships with various character throughout the book sure, but that is necessary and important.

I actually like that Sanderson doesn't go with the typical doom and gloom writing

Never read the books, but listened to the complete series of the audiobooks 2x, about three years apart…the second time was glorious…

It was a great read for sure. William was a good guy...just misunderstood

Wow when did this guy escape arkham asylum? Trust me even the algorithm won't save you. 😂💩

"I will never forget the points of it, it will be stuck in my brain forever." That's exactly it. I haven't felt this eraptured over a book since I was a child.

Oh yay, the comments are back on. This is still a horrendous review lol.

I’d hardly say any book inside the top 50 is underrated 😅😅

This is hilarious

I like some Conan but man these comments are insane 😂

Hahaha😂 Can't wait for this one!

I have loved every book till this one. Witches are dull and the characters are blah

The thing that I love about you is that you're an honest man, you don't compliment, if you hate something, you say it. And I love the fact that I agree with you all the time! I thought I was the only one who had these controversial opinions, but then I found your channel 😂 and I'm pretty much gonna trust your judgement on books that I haven't read yet

so the rating is his intellect not the book

NEWWW ACHIEVEMENT: "Short form content creator"

Like it!!! I love this book and it needs 5 stars.

Hello Mr. Matt, do you read web novels? If you do, please read "Reverend Insanity" - it's a masterpiece!

Heroes Die is a great audiobook. The narrator Stefan Rudnicki almost reaches Steven Pacey levels of greatness. But just be aware that, IF you end up liking the book, the rest of the series is somewhat polarizing. I loved book 2 and 3. Book 4 is... different. I personally hated it.

Tell me more about Janny Wurts. I have never heard of her before just now.

A busy July! I am also currently reading The Final Empire, but for the first time :). Shogun and The Silverblood Promise are so high on my TBR. Happy reading!

I finished Howling Dark yesterday. It blew me away how good this book is. I could not put it down. Everyone should read the series. I can’t wait to read Demon in White 😊👍

Chris and his wife are also very active. Both have hit my back on messages (Just saw that he also hit you up lmao)

Thanks for the joke shoutout Matt. Keep up the great videos!

So a basic isekai,hard pass.

For me I loved 1st law but I keep putting off the stand alones because I’ve heard they’re not great, and that you can’t read the 2nd trilogy without reading them.. I will one day though! It just feels like a big slog in my way 😂

I just can't separate the art from the artist. To each their own though.

Arent the books of riyria revelations meant to be read in pairs?

Heroes Die is badass

De Castells writing is very subpar imo. The characters are almost always chatacatures.

To anyone wanting to listen to an audio version of The Final Empire, I recommend the Graphic Audio version. They have different voice actors for each part and sound effects. Great narrator, too.

I love how you’ve got it all scheduled out to the day 😂 Enjoyed the TBR, thanks for sharing

I'm reading The Wandering Inn Matt! Though I'm doing it a bit differently and reading it a chapter or two a week and doing full spoiler recaps on my channel.
