One of my last to-dos on my list after moving is getting my books unpacked and a new bookcase set up for them. This is a corner of my upstairs bonus room that I may turn in to a listening / reading area. This is the first time they've all been lined up.
Apparently I missed the notification for another Bauchelian and Broach novel so can't get the signed / numbered edition of Upon a Dark of Evil Overlods. As well as the last two books of Three Body Problem so I only have the 1st in the series singed and numbered. Actually, need to check my damn email and make sure my notifications aren't being sent to spam...

Nice collection man! I see those leather bound Sanderson books down there. I wish I had gotten in on the Stormlight leather bound stuff when it started. At this point I don’t know that I want to shell out the money to buy them third party, and I don’t want half a collection. So guess I’m just gonna have to miss out on those bad boys.
Oddly enough, I have all of the malazan books, some of them in hard back, but none of them match the variety of hard backs that you have there, with the portraits on the spines there. Cool that they’re all matching. My collection looks like a dumpster fire, but I have em!

Found the Gmail from 2009 when Gardens shipped and I think Dust came out last year? So 12 years. I like that they’re all a matched numbered set, SubPress did a great job making sure people kept their number. Two of the Esselmont books are matched as well, they coordinated with the Euro seller they sourced those from and got me the same.
About to finish Skyward book 3 from Sanderson then will start the new Karsa trilogy.
I am 50 pages into Gardens of the Moon and I am trying to decide if this needs to be thrown into a fire or not. I am not at all impressed with the writing and I need some assurances that the pain I have so far felt will pay off.

It's hard to say. Gardens is a little different than the rest of the series, but you'll always have the lots of characters and very little exposition thing.

No one's going to defend that book. As an introduction to a series, it has serious issues. If you like the writing style, essentially a lack of inorganic exposition almost to a fault, keep on reading.
If it helps, each time Tattersail's weight is described, just mentally picture one of Adebisi's girls from his thread.

Which is fine. Having said that we start off with a kid talking to a soldier and soon to be empress for apparently no fucking reason. Kid becomes a soldier himself, kid just so happens to stumble into the Empress who happens to remember a decade old conversation she overheard and then never saw this kid again in those preceding years. I can't tell if the author takes his own story seriously. It feels like i am 13 years old again playing my first DnD game with a 13 year old DM and neither of us has prior experience. It is such a disjointed experience. I just need to know if the author gives a fuck at all about his own shit.

Ganeos Paran isn’t really a random kid. He’s a part of one of the noble houses who you’ll find out is pretty tied to the empress.

This as well as it being sort of a critical moment for her as well as the particular soldier involved is not exactly someone random.

Honestly, it's the only series that has gotten better the more I've read it. I still love The Black Company series, and a few others, but nothing tops this. Most series go down the more the author writes and while this series has valleys and peaks, nothing comes close to overall quality. I'm still kinda amazed how much I enjoy these books.

I would say gardens has a bit of the sanderson avalanche where it really kicks into gear the last 3rd, most of it is establishing characters

on that complete Subterranean Press collection (which is fucking awesome btw and sells for 10K on Ebay).
Your collection got me googling around and I discovered that Erikson has contracted the Subterranean Press to do another similar run. The copies wont be lettered, they wont be numbered, there will be a lot of copies printed in comparison, and there‘s a possibility that the artwork will be different, but the quality of the next run will still match SP’s quality standards. They intend to start with the first two books and if they sell well (they should) they intend to continue with the rest of the main series.
This is a great (and potentially last) opportunity to get a complete matching hardcover set for Books 1-10 that are not second hand. No dates listed yet but rumor has it the preorder page will pop up sometime this year.

Umm I never even bothered to check eBay for these… yikes. And that listing isn’t a matched set either. Wonder if he gets any bids. I may be putting those back in their boxes tomorrow morning.
lol three of those were still sealed in the shipping until I put them out haha
Jesus I should have bought the lettered editions…
