Steven Erikson beggars every other fantasy writer in terms of sheer, horrifying scope and import and the vast ideas that he throws around like so much rice at a wedding.

I'll finish Toll the Hounds tomorrow, but when a savage, 11,000 page story like this one is the barest footnote in the context of an enormous, never-ending conflict, and the story keeps hitting you over and over and over with nre revelations

The Jaghut, my God the Jaghut.

O_o

Are you serious???

Yes. It is a ten-book series, the first nine of which total 10k-11k pages.

It'a arguably one of the top 3 fantasy serie of the last 20 years, and what is more remarkable is the author didn't drag his feet writing the last books but kept delivering a new book every 16 months or so.

 

I loved Martin until he pulled his crap of not releasing the later books and delaying again and again....

A song of ice and fire is going to end like the Wheel of time. Except Martin has no idea where it's going so he won't be able to leave notes for anyone to take over....

 

The only reproach I have to make to Erikson is that Kalam isn't in the last 4 books !!! I want him back damned...
