Malazan is great. It burnt me out a bit because it's often difficult reading, so I'm struggling to get up the energy to finish the last two books, but damn is it good. For anyone seeing this who might read it, don't let the fact that it's based off a tabletop campaign scare you off, I honestly couldn't tell whatsoever. It really doesn't feel like your standard tabletop role-playing game campaign at all, it feels like something very unique and different and it has an incredible amount of artistic merit. In fact, if you like the kind of books where there's always some deeper secret to be unveiled that entirely recontextualizes all of the previous World building in some flash of horrifying revelation, definitely check the series out, because that kind of thing happens a lot. Also, if you want a fantasy series that has a very active Pantheon of gods that feel like real old school mythology, not even the sort of Bowdlerized Percy Jackson version, also check it out. It also does an incredible job doing very interesting and unique things with its fantasy races and cultures. The Jaghut are my favorite.
