Hello everyone, my first post. Just finished TCG and thoroughly enjoyed it and the prior 9 books in the series. I do have some questions though, or maybe they are wishes for more info.

Spoiler

Draconus, I had hoped to see him right at the end. And Karsa's miss Dev where did she get to. I like the fact that many doors are left ajar, gives me hope for a Malazan future.

I am now reading the "The Forge of Darkness". I had picked it up when I was between MOI and HOC. At that time I was reading a post on here , june this year and the poster stated that it would be a bad idea to read it before completing the first series, even though it is a prequel. So I put it down. I can say now that was great advice. Before coming to this forum I spent a lot of time on The Song of Ice and Fire forums. I am now confident I can go back there and share with them who the 3 heads of the Dragon are.

Hey, I've moved this thread to the relevant area of the forum for discussing TCG.

Cheers, and welcome to the forum .

There's always the upcoming Karsa trilogy. But as a general response to your Spoiler thoughts, without specifics, all I would say is read Esslemont's books. They take place before, during, and after TCG and you'll see some familiar faces.

You will have your fill of Daddy Draconus soon. Just keep chugging.

Rake, Ruin and Andarist?
Rake, Osserc and Scarabandari?
Shelthana, Sukul and Menandore?
Bruce Lee?

I'm pretty sure Rake landing in Westeros by himself would be enough to deal with any threat from Danaerys or the Others Omtose Phellack...

I like where this thread is going.

Daenerys vs Apsalar
Jaime Lannister vs Brys Beddict
Queen Cersei vs Empress Lasseen
Winter is coming vs The Jade Giants are coming
Northwall (whatever it is called) vs Stormwall

[Andorion]

One powerful Jaghut. Take your pick. That'll show them how to bring winter.

[Mcardle]

I can just picture Daenerys finally rallying her army and three dragons to invade Westeros and Moon Spawn just appearing out of a warren, would take ten minutes for Silanah to wipe out her dragons and her army would be shattered, onto kings landing to unveil Kurald Galain and show them the meaning of a long night...

This is GRRM's worst nightmare.

[Mcardle]

Actually if we could have any crossover between the two, I would love to see Kallor play the game of thrones... I think he might have an escapade or two.

"You call that a dragon? This is a dragon."

[Felisin Fatter]

Envy: You can ride a dragon? Must be a pretty stupid dragon. I can turn myself into a dragon, eat that, pretty princess.

Storm riders arrive and inform the others that they can just sail around the wall (or walk over the ice...). Bran dies, ascends, and joins them.

Haut turns up and reclaims Winterfell as his keep, evicting everyone else. He adopts Jon Snow and Arya because they amuse him.

Then Icarium arrives, looks at the mess, enters a rage and kills everyone.

The end.

Thank you Grief and D'rek for giving my post direction and the edit on the "spoiler".
