I truly believe Malazan is the greatest story ever in all of fiction. A true masterpiece of literature and storytelling. I don’t think anything beats the grand scale and complexity of this series.

Malazan Book of the Fallen by Steven Erikson is a work of fantasy that stands as one of the greatest achievements in fiction. Perhaps that’s a huge call and perhaps I’m also incredibly wrong. But I just don’t think I’ve experienced anything like it ever. Its epic scale, intricate world-building, and deeply complex characters put it above anything I’ve ever read, watched or played. The series weaves together a vast array of storylines and themes in such a complex and intricate way. It has a surprising amount of philosophical depth to it as well. It’s so emotionally powerful and yes it is really challenging at times but man is it so rewarding. It’s such a satisfying experience and is not only a fantastic story but a fantastic reading experience and journey. I seriously think Malazan is unrivaled in its grandness and complexity. I’m calling it now, tell me if I’m insane but Malazan is the greatest piece of fiction I’ve ever experienced.
