So, we are halfway there, and I've just completed a re-read of the first five malazan books. Somedays I think of the books and get a warm fuzzy feeling. Usually its a particular scene that I immediately think of. So, I was wondering what people's absolute favourite scene is, from any of the books so far.

Whenever I think of the books, I think of when Trull first meets Onrack in House of Chains, and the scenes that follow to where they discover the statues of the hounds of darkness. For some reason those scenes stand out as "warm and fuzzy". Maybe because it's a sort of precedent to Midnight Tides, and I love the story of Trull in that one.

So, what scene gives you that warm and fuzzy?

[Asheroth]

I like the contrast between 'Thrice denied, High Fist. Coltaine is dead. They are all dead.' and the part where the crows come for Coltaine's soul.

[Malaclypse]

oddly, the first scene that comes to mind fitting this description is the one with Tehol and Bugg after Bugg rescues and heals Tehol. I'm sure there are more

[Tenaka Khan]

One would be when the pregnant woman at the end of DG looks out the window and discovers the countless ravens bearing Coltaine's soul. Another one when Rake escorts the surviving Bridgeburners with their dead out of Coral. I guess if I thought some more, numerous other scenes giving that warm and fuzzy would come to mind. SE

JONZ!!! woooooo

I like the one in Capustan when Antsy says something like: "Capustan, the bridgeburners have arrived."

Ofc, I also like the whole atmosphere in anomander's tent, when the son of darkness talk to Whiskeyjack

[Jonzey]

Morgoth! Why havn't you been on MSN? :Erm:

@Malaclypse - Yeah I second the Tehol/Bugg warm and fuzzy

[Folken]

morgoth's on a trip...or something like that...italy:Erm:

Gardens of the Moon, the starting scene's of the BB's. It sets up the entire athmosphere of the novels.

[Zendog13]

Coltain's soul bourn away by the ravens gets top fuzzy spot, followed by Quick Bens story.

[Blind]

I'd say DG's epilogue with Coltaine's ravens; also Baruk's servants coming to fetch Duiker's soul-saver...

[Morgoth]

i'd have difficulties classifying that as "warm and fuzzy", but yeah, a very touching scene it is

[caladanbrood]

Bugg is fuzzy though;)


My favorite scene in the whole series is Itkovian's death scene. But thats not really warm or fuzzy

[Leoman]

All the fight scenes with Gruntle in Capustan, I luved that guy

[Abyss]

The MoI scene where the Grey Sword messenger described Gruntle rallying the Capans and others with the partially eaten body of a child. Wow.

In DG, two scenes: Where Coltaine awards the Sapper captain by demoting him, and where he makes the servants into soldiers. Wow and wow again.



- Abyss, does not wow lightly.

after just doing a re read of HoC, the scene where Hedge saves Fiddler from the munitions explosion, then says he'll see him again sooner or later, just not today is a definate warm and fuzzy moment

bugg is full o' fuzz

Kettle, I totally agree with that one :bear:

[The Cad]

In the first section of MT, after Scabandari has Stabbed Silchas Ruin in the back and contemplates how nobody else could possibly stand against him. Then a few lines down it says something like-
"It did not occur to Scabandari to wonder where, of Mother Dark's sons, the one who went missing was."
Not perhaps a warm and fuzzy, but it was a COME ON, AVE IT!!! moment.
Followed by an equally slick-
"But even that was not his biggest mistake."

[Dolmen 2.0]

Warm and fuzzy, warm and fuzzy...oh yeah the moments you read about T'ool walking arm in arm with hetan and the others that really gave me that all-is-right-with-the-world he-so-earned-it feeling. and that whole thing about trull crying because his t'lan Imass could not. Don't know if there was something similar with Toc and T'ool but those moments kinda sum up the T'lan Imass in one sad moment.
