Malazan has yet to disappoint me so far. Erikson knows how to stick a landing with his endings and while it's all part of this prolonged burn of a plot, the set pieces make it worth waiting for. Love seeing new characters arise, deepening some that we met a couple of books ago, and seeing old favorites return. It always feels like coming home.
