The Malazan Book of the Fallen SUCKS

The Malazan Book of the Fallen is one of the longest, most profitable, and most well-liked works of epic fiction to ever be published - proving once again that the masses are too stupid to filter out good material from absolute garbage, let alone decide their own fate in democratic systems (which is, coincidentally, why they always fail).

Steven Erikson's titular work takes ages to get to the point, never truly completes it's many storylines even in the final pages, and stands as one of the hardest reads of all time. having read it so that you wouldn't have to, I present to you the criticism of (some of) its flaws.
