I'm in the middle of it, and it works ok, about half the characters are women. She is no michael page, and a few male characters sound similar. Bit she does a good job.

Finished The God is Not Willing today. Erickson is back on form. No fucking idea what he thought he was doing with Memory of Light.
This book was fantastic. Like many of you, im gonna go ahead and start rereading the series now that I’ve finished this.

MoL is the only Erikson book I didn't finish, I *may* try again when/if the 3rd one comes out. Then again I may not.

Preorders opening up earlier than expected. Noon Est, Monday January 31st. No idea how many books they will be selling but SP copies tend to sell out very fast and Malazan is experiencing a surge in popularity lately and the demand for Malazan hardcovers is through the roof.
Edit: 1,000 copies. They will be sold out fast.

Very early news. Gardens of the Moon is at the printer, with a tentative completion date in late February.
Unless something comes up, we'll start taking preorders at 12:00 PM EST on Monday, January 31, 2022.
The book's product page has already been updated with specs about the new printing.

As of now there‘s no holding of rights so it’s a FFA every time a new book comes out but that could change. SP allegedly has purchased an unknown amount of copies to hold in reserve which they intend to sell periodically so some people who missed out during the rush will have a second chance.
I really don’t want to fight the masses either but for an SP copy of Gardens and Deadhouse Gates I’ll shank a bitch if I have to.

That would be completely counter to how the original release and any other series I've purchased from SP has been run. Seems very odd they'd change it for the second printing. I'll be trying to get in on this one as well and give it a shot.
It was not the same for books they purchase from other publishers where they can't guarantee the numbers they'll be receiving.

Serious question, I'm not trolling here, but why the books? Do they have new beginning/ending stories? Or is this decoration thing.
I bought most of these imported from UK so I didn't have to wait ...then e-readers became a thing.
Every book I 'own' is on my google drive in epub form and I got rid of all the paper. I ask people not to buy me books now so I don't have to pretend to read a physical book.

I don’t have a good answer, only to say ‘because.’
To elaborate on that though, because I like having books on shelves in the house. The SubPress editions are very nice and decorative. Not suggesting every dime store novel needs to be displayed but that’s fine too. There’s a certain charm with that. I have cookbooks, old school books, reference books, all throughout the house.
Having a four year old ask questions about them and draw the connection between reading his copies of Jasper and Joppa, Biscuit, my old copies of Goodnight Moon, and so forth. I really do hate pulling the “it just isn’t the same” card, but it really isn’t. I’m not a poet or author so can’t do justice to the feeling.
Even having said all that, my Kindle is probably my most used device next to my work laptop. In bed I’ve read almost exclusively off it for years. Actually not even sure what the last personal hard copy of a book I read is. Maybe a self help book, probably… no wait, I read hardback of the third Sanders Way of Kings novel. Now I need to go walk around and figure it out.
Not sure, but there’s absolutely a place for both physical and digital. Just depends on what you want so everyone can currently have either, or both.
As far as these are concerned they’re my favorite series so I want to own copies of them. I also have maybe 5 editions of Count of Monte Cristo, 4 or 5 Don Quixote, some old printings of C.S. Lewis (not his Narnia stuff, the Christian stuff).
So yeah, just because, I guess.

When the Ministry of Truth decides that you aren’t allowed to read books on your e-reader because of some words you said on the internet, you’ll be glad you’ve got a shelf full of hard copies!
Seriously though, some people collect cards, some collect movies, dvds, old vinyl records, or whatever the fuck else people collect. Some folks like a bookshelf. I’m a bookshelf guy. Everything I’ve got on my tablet, I’ve got on my shelf as well. When I was young, Dad read LoTR to my brother and I for an hour after dinner every night. After we finished the series, I started diving into books that were on mom and dad’s bookshelf.
I will always maintain my collection in hard copy, because I like having my books on a shelf. I like to collect them. I prefer to read hard copies. I’ve got a tablet and I still prefer to read my books in physical form. I get enough screen time daily between surfing the net and gaming, I don’t need another screen to read my books on.

The God Is Not Willing was freaking awesome. So much better than what was going on in Forge of Darkness. Erikson just knows how to write strange soldier characters and other fringe players and mains. He just didn't have the rhythm in Forge. This felt great though and hated for it to end.
