I sincerely hope Borussia Dortmund make it all the way to the final in the Champions League. -

I've been wondering the same thing myself, though I do recall several instances of characters checking for any minor cuts in their bodies out of concern that said minor wound might become infected. -

See, that's the thing. I enjoy these discussions about the books, and it has made me realize that I like the ideas presented by the books more than I like the books themselves.
Regarding the main series, GotM, which everyone considers the weakest entry, is precisely the one I enjoy the most, whereas DG, which many consider the point they got hooked on the MBotF, is IMO the weakest entry. The other books I really enjoyed are MT and TBH, with MoI and HoC being so-so (Karsa's origin story bored the shit out of me, though). After TBH, the main series became a real chore to read, RG being a really boring read that is saved by the final two chapters, and I didn't like TTH at all save for the part where Anomander Rake sacrifices himself. DoD and TCG were quite a handful, and by the end I was just glad it was all over.
On the flipside, ICE's books got better and better with each succeeding entry, though NoK was one of the most boring books I've ever read. I suspect I am one of the very few Malazan readers who prefers ICE's writing over SE's, although my biggest pet peeve with ICE is that he tends to end his books on cliffhangers that remain unresolved. -

I started to feel the same way as D'rek posted towards the end of my read-through, that it would have been better for this to be a collection of tales, because frankly TCG as a conclusion feels like a gargantuan clusterfuck of stuff happening.
