I’m new to the fantasy community, but I’m glad to see it here on Lemmy as well! I would say my favorite novel/series so far has been Mistborn, but it’s kind of the only one I’ve read so far (although it was fantastic). I’d like to gauge all of your responses too!

Currently about 20% of the way through Toll the Hounds. I have been read Malazan for, I kid you not, the last two years. I get most of my reading in little chunks of 20-40 min before I fall asleep, so it's been very slow going. But MAN has it been awesome.

I sympathise, I'm a slow reader and broke the series up with an unrelated book between each entry. Took a few attempts before I really got into the series too.

Felt like it went on forever but it was only about 3 years. I'd been trying on and off to get into it properly since my teens though, so 3 years was my last attempt, but overall it's closer to 20 since my first read of Gardens.

It really is an incredible experience. And Toll the Hounds is one of my favourites. Enjoy! I was so keen to get through them all, but now that I'm all done, I really miss it.
