i just joined the app last night, and i'm really happy to see a small cluster of malazan fans here. i'm halfway through bonehunters and i've already turned into the kind of fan who's buying extra copies of gardens of the moon to give away to friends who express even the slightest interest, lol
Welcome! I’ve only 2 books to go now!

Welcome! Our little Malazan group is growing! Yesss spread the joy 🥰
Sounds like it would make a good quest 🫣

I submitted a request but they're pretty busy and don't want to make too many quests that are just doing series. There's 4 other series in the world too, most of them not finished yet, so adding those then makes it too big of a world. So I made a list for now and we'll see if I can sweettalk a quest into existence
That's fair haha I'm hoping to at least start it this year!
I’m new to the app, still learning it (love it!), and I’d love to see the main series plus the companions as a Quest! I realize it’d be a massive undertaking, but it’s my own personal quest anyway and I’d love to have friends along the way. Was actually looking for it and found the List. No one in my ‘real life’ can be convinced yet to read it lol.

Welcome, I'm so glad you're here! Ugh yeah same I don't know many readers let alone fantasy readers irl, we really need a support group! Jennifer and Lucy aren't currently looking for quests that focus on just single series or authors, since they're quite limiting and Malazan isn't an especially popular series anyway, but if they are open in the future, it'll definitely be one I make 😍
Thank you for the explanation, that totally makes sense. I’m so glad you’re here too! I’m so motivated looking at all these great Quests, happy to be here! 💖
I forced myself to finish Gardens of the Moon and started Deadhouse Gates after hearing it was way better than Gardens and just couldn’t get into it. I want to finish this series one day, but I’m worried it just might not be for me.
I’d encourage you to read at least thru book 3 if you can, I’ve heard that that’s when it really starts to engage people and connect. Also totally valid if not for you, but I really hope it’ll become more enjoyable for you. Worth reading 💖
I think my goal will be to get through book 2 sometime early next year and see if it clicks!

I fear it's the best series that's ever been written (that I've read) so if you didn't enjoy book 2, it's unfortunately not for you probably 😭
