Start Memories of Ice!
I remember being a bit disappointed that so many of the characters from Gardens didn't feature in Deadhouse but I quickly forgot about that and was blown away by the end. Mappo and Icarium are two of my favourite characters and Coltaine's story is immense. I don't even want to admit how many times I nearly shed tears during the Malazan books.

The characters, story, twists, battles and specifically the ending were amazing. There were so many fantastic moments and it engaged me throughout its many pages. I would definately say it was one of the best books I have ever read and I can't wait to carry on this series. In regards to best moments...

Did you say you were Kindling these? If so, how are you finding them in terms of accessing maps and stuff. And if not, do you think they'd suffer on Kindle?

What's most amazing is just how much this guy knows - philosophy, theory, politics, painting, literature, architecture, sociology - and not superficially either.
