>Is Malazan good?
Yes, it is excellent for something to really sink your teeth into. Its 10 books straight from Erikson and some side-books I havent checked out so far. I love everything it does pretty much, it sets up a gritty and brutal world, lots of characters, lots of lore and ambiguous topics that are very relevant to the story. It gives you a shitload of different points of view, travels all across this world and other worlds with you but still keeps a red thread going thats the 'main' story. It also manages to mostly bring it to a satisfactory end in my opinion

I read roughly half of this book. Threads, comments and reviews usually mention that Kvothe is unlikable and unreasonably good at everything he does. I also wasn't wowed by the fairly generic fantasy setting.

I don't think it's terrible, it's just too long to justify reading something that isn't very good.

I've never really cared about how adaptions compare to the original works they've been inspired by and judge them by their own merits.
If you're going to fuck the ass you're going to get some shit on your Dick.
