Alternatively, skip the first and read the second and third. Legolas Send a noteboard - 16/11/2016 10:51:53 PM

View original postNo word on the Rothfuss (haven't really been interested in him since the second book wasn't that appealing to me). As for the Malazan, I'd say try the first two (since the first is a bit different in some ways than the others, although latter volumes refer back to it). If you don't like it by then (and both should be easily found in used bookstores), then the other volumes likely wouldn't be to your liking.

Like a lot of people, I struggled with the first - several times - before making it through. Liked the second much better, and absolutely loved the third. Everything after that had its moments and I'd still describe them as reasonably to very good, but Memories of Ice is the only one that I'm really tempted to reread (again).

Then again, you can't really appreciate Memories of Ice without having read Gardens of the Moon... so it wouldn't really work, anyway.
