Welcome back! You’ve probably heard about Malazan, but most people only talk about the main sequence. Book of the Fallen, the ten books by Steven Erikson.

And yet, there are fifteen other Malazan books that don’t get anywhere near as much love or attention, despite often being just as good! Maybe even BETTER!

So today we’re looking at Steven Erikson’s extended Malazan books. And over the next three weeks we’ll look at ALL the other books, including the works of Ian Esslement. I’m here to help you decide how far down the Malazan rabbit hole you want to go.
