Malazan probably. So many people love it, and it looked like something I’d like, I even had a friend also reading it with me. I wanted to like it so much. After one and half books, I realized I couldn’t care less about what happened to any of the characters and I didn’t understand anything about the magic stuff, so I stopped reading.
I tried six times to finish the first book and I couldn’t. The tone is too dark, and the characters too unlikable. I didn’t care what happened to anyone, and eventually stopped reading each time.
Ya, I can see that. I really had to stick with grinding through the first two books. Top notch writing and characters (imo), but the confusion about what was going on was a tough slog to get through.
Still became one of my favourite series though. If you’re ever stranded on a beautiful tropical island and happen to have this book, I do encourage you to try it again.

I guess I’ll check out the alternative reading order. Although six times is a heck of a lot of chances to give a series.

So many people have praised it that I feel like I’m missing something, so I keep trying again whenever I don’t know which book to read next.
