![]() But in this genre that tosses around the E-word like it was going out of style, I believe that Erikson’s ambition is the most epic of all. ![]() Esselmont, each individual book in Erikson’s series, and the complexity of the story Erikson planned out from the beginning: each of these alone can be justly described as epic in scope, epic in scale. The world created by Steven Erikson and Ian C. But I would argue that Steven Erikson and his ten volume Malazan Book of the Fallen out-epic all of these other epics in its epic-ness. In most of these cases, the word “epic” is an apt descriptor. I’ve seen it applied (and done so myself) to Tolkien, Brooks, and Donaldson, to Jordan, Martin, and Eddings, to Jemisin, Rothfuss, and Sanderson, and the list goes on. The word “epic” gets thrown around more often when talking about fantasy than a well-aimed dagger. ![]() The Crippled God: Book Ten of The Malazan Book of the Fallen Hope the timely review makes up for the delay. ![]() I know I’m late, but I got caught up with day-job work and so…sorry. ![]() My apologies for posting this on Wednesday, rather than Tuesday. ![]()
