Hello everybody

This is really a great forum for the malazan books.

I just finished The Bonehunters - and Iam considering whether I should read Reapers Gale or Return of The Crimson Guard next.


Doing some search on the internet there seams to be different opinions on which book to read after The Bonehunters - especially about huge spoilers in one of the volumes


So whats your opinion?

The recommended order Is Bonehunters, Reaper's Gale, Return of the Crimson Guard, Toll the Hounds.
It won't hurt to read Return of the Crimson Guard before Reaper's Gale. The main thing is to NOT read Toll the Hounds before Return of the Crimson Guard..
What is not forbidden is mandatory.

I kinda love it when D'rek unleashes her nerd wrath, as I knew she would here. Sorry innocent bystanders, but someone's gotta be the kindling.

From whatI've learned, ROTCG is the one book where the arcs from both authors intersect, and the events take place more or less in a parallel timeline. So its not much of problem either way. Your choice could be motivated by whether you choose to stick with SE the whole way, or alternate between ICE & him, but RotCG is the one you got to squeeze in.

RCG before TtH is key to read certain critical events in the order they take place. Not doing so won't ruin anything, but I'd argue it's better.
