Steven Erickson’s Malazan Book of the Fallen series is the most momentous, immense and truly epic fantasy series of the last thirty years. (Sorry, George R.R. Martin.) As impressive as the series is for its unbridled fecundity, Erickson’s achievement of actually finishing the 10-book arc in 11 years is itself an epic achievement. Not surprisingly, I jumped at the chance to review The Crippled God for BookPage.
