10 books, 3.2 million words, 453 point of view characters... Over the last 2 years Malazan: Book of the Fallen by Steven Erikson has been one of the most profound and moving reading experiences of my life.

It's not for everyone to be sure, but it's certainly something special!

It's done.

I've read a lot of books in my 41 years. The Book of the Fallen is a masterpiece, an absolutely towering work. I will be amazed if I ever read anything again that I love as much as I have loved these books.
