Posting here in case there’s any interest.

Going to sell my SubPress 2nd and 3rd printing of the series if anyone is interested. It is kind of a mess with what is going on since the quality control ran crazy bad.

2nd printing is Gardens of the Moon and Deadhouse Gates. They both had QC issues so SubPress decided to do a third printing starting over with Gardens which was just delivered today.

So anyways, I have two copies of GotM and one Deadhouse Gates. And I can make sure you have rights to buy the remaining books in the series. $550 is my random guess bc I have no idea where prices land between the two printings now. Not much above cost.

Let me know if any questions. I’ll post in the Facebook group in a few days if no responses.

Finished my 3rd re-read of the main 10. Last time was 2 odd years ago. I remembered it all this time (first time - 2nd time was a 10 year gap and I forgot a lot). This time .....was a bit of a slog. I had to make myself basically finish books 8-1st half of book 10. Last time I skipped the snake until (well you know). This time I would read a paragraph and if I recalled it went nowhere I'd just skip it. Seems like he did a lot of padding on the last 3 books to make it 10 total. Still my favorite series of all time but it will be a long while before I read them again.
Started 'The God is not willing' this morning.

The Broken Binding printings are supposed to ship in January. Looking forward to seeing them. However, I now have TBB editions of The Dragonbone Chair and Stone of Farewell (Green Angel Tower is on the way), and I gotta say I’m not super impressed with the quality. Hopefully their Malazan series is a little better.

I was planning on doing my 2nd full reread and 3rd overall this summer but I have some downtime the next couple weeks and may just do it now. I'll have to see how much I enjoy it, but his latest book was a very smooth read and reminded me why he's the best. Talking about slog, I'm 2 books behind on Sanderson's SL archive and wading through 80% of blah to get to the good stuff for 2 straight books is not very exciting at this time. Probably waiting until summer for that one.

I'm assuming you mean 'The God is not willing' , yes it was a very smooth read and it's what made me re-read the 2nd time. Unfortunately, it's looking like 2026 for the 2nd one. Grrr.

Well I just finished "The God is not Willing" read #2. I'm still not sure what the point of
all the mining and sensless killing
at the end was for but it's well written. Now I'm in a dry patch so I'll try the new J.A. Corey (The expanse) series.

Interesting. Definitely outside of my normal wheelhouse - if it isn't fantasy/sci-fi I'm not reading it, basically. MBoTF is far and away my favorite series, though. Looking forward to seeing this author's insights about it. Just ordered, thanks.

Erikson plugged it on some podcast I think it was so hopefully it is legit. Without an excerpt or review it is a gamble but it would be hard to say someone is “cashing in” on the Malazan name. Not like this is LotR or anything.

Let me know what you 2 think of it. Looks like you cannot get it in ebook, which really sucks. This is also my all time favorite series. Got really hyped when I saw there was activity in this thread.
