Well isn't this just fan-f'n-tastic
I always had my suspicions. It was always subtle and just beneath the surface. I expected better craft than this.
I'm about three chapters in to book 7 of the Malazan series and Erikson has given up on playing it straight. He'd descended into full-on Canadian Twat Lefty Wet-Dream Political Allegory Theater. A group of Letherii calling themselves the "Patriotists" is running rough-shod over the local populous searching for political dissidents and torturing/disappearing academics and intellectuals.
This better improve quickly or I'll burn the fucking thing in effigy. Christ, how many people have I recommended this to by now? I'm going to have a lot of apologies to write.

I started that one today. (OTOH, we're talking about a series where there are hot and cold running unstoppable-barbarian-forces-of-nature. I'm holding out for more Karsa.)

Yeah. Whatever comes to pass between Rhulad, Karsa and Icarium should (should) be epic.
I'm hoping for a lot more Tehol and Bugg. Those two crack me up. Their relationship is even more amusing after the revelation at the end of 5.

About halfway through the book now. Ho ho ho!
Tehol and Bugg, indeed. And more Malazan marines, which always makes a book better.

I'm only about 240 pages in at this point. I tend to read just before
bed, and now I get Pavlovian drowsiness whenever I try to sit down and
chew through a big chunk of pages.
