I
like how Erikson makes sure that things are misremembered throughout the ages of his setting. I understand why he does this (aside from not having to keep detailed timelines

) - this is how time works, how history works, being written, rewritten, changed, translated etc.
Even worse (?), I also support the lack of three certain characters. Not having them all over the book helps keep their legendary badassery intact, instead of diluting the power these characters exude in
The Malazan Book of the Fallen. I mean, remember when Darth Vader was awesome? And then we got those prequels were he accidentally destroyed a ship, hung out with Jar Jar Binks, whined a lot and in general lost all credibility, badassery and acting abilities (yes he was better acted with the mask on in the originals).
