If you read this, am I to learn yet who is good and who is bad in this Malazan book?

Like is Alomander Rake the guy I cheer for or should I cheer for the Empress? I am kind of confused on the story line but I am only half-way through the book.

You can email me off-line if you want...

In general, I root for the Bridgeburners. That is one of the things I really like about the series, there isn't really a clear cut delineation between the good guys and the bad guys. There are individuals that I sympathize with more than others.

I think overall, most of my favorite characters are of the Malazan empire, but the empire as a whole is painted in poor light.

The story and universe unfold slowly over the course of the first 5 or so books. By then, you are starting to get a grasp of how vast the world is that Erikson has created. Also, by the end of the 5th book, you are starting to see how everything is linked together, and all these seemingly disconnected stories are actually part of an overall whole.

I have had discussions with people recently about favorite fantasy series. I consider the Malazan Book of the Fallen the absolute best fantasy series in print at this time. The Lord of the Rings was the first, and none of these would exist without Tolkien. Jordan's Wheel of Time really started the modern epic fantasy movement. Martin upstaged Jordan with The Song of Ice and Fire, being better written and a better story.

I don't think any of them hold a candle to Erikson when it comes to world crafting. The history, magic system, mythology, geography are all so well thought out, and revealed in such a way to allow the reader to actually grasp and internalize a hundred thousand years of history.

I have a question about Sectionals - do the spectators/cheerleaders/gawkers pay an entry fee?
