And had to post due to my excitement. I have read everything in the Malazan universe including NoK and RotCG and have been waiting for this book to come out in America. I randomly found a $25 gift card for B&N and checked on their website to see when DoD came out, thinking it was the 28th of this month for some reason, only to find they had it in stock at my local store. Anyway in order to make this post worthy i have decided to post a survey on two subjects.

First survey: What is your favorite story. This could be taken as a book or as a storyline that spans more than one book (such as the mystery that is Quick Ben, or the chain of dogs) please elaborate on the "why" of your choice, for discussion purposes.

Second Survey: Who is your favorite character in the Malazan world; again please elaborate on the "why" of your choice.
