A Malazfan on reddit did a LOT of thinking about Edgewalker.
Worth a read .

Spoilers for all books, Kharkanas and TGINW included.

There are a couple really in depth posters on the Malazan subreddit, like Nilfrog. I love reading through their stuff.

At first I thought there was no chance that I was going to read all that but I am glad I did, it was really well put together.

Not something I had considered but I like the theory... You can see SE layering the text with the quotes like...

Quote

'Does it occur, to any of you, what these things do to me? No, of course not. The High King is cursed to fail, but never to fall. The High King is but…what? Oh, the physical manifestation of ambition. Walking proof of its inevitable price. Fine.' He readied his two-handed weapon. 'Fuck you, too.'

This too...

Quote

‘How did you feel, Edgewalker, when everything you held fell to pieces in your hands? Did failure arrive like a wall of fire?’ He turned to regard the apparition. ‘Those tatters have the look of scorching, come to think of it. Do you remember that moment, when you lost everything? Did the world echo to your howl?

Were probably the two parts that had me considering the theory the most.
