    From Reddit ... brace yourselves this one's good....

    ****** I don't think there are any real spoilers in this post, but mods please change the flair if you disagree. I'm about 25% through NLF, so no spoilers beyond that please and thank you.******

    Last night I went to the launch of No Life Forsaken, at Munro's Books in Victoria (Canada). Steve had planned on doing a reading, but opted for about 90 minutes of Q&A and essentially just chatting instead.

    If you've watched any of his interviews before, it wasn't dissimilar from a given one of those: questions about inspiration, his approach to writing, the ttrpg background of the world and stories, favourite characters, etc. He comes across as a very genuine guy, and he stuck around for a bit after to shake hands and sign books.

    Some highlights and interesting bits:

    - Walk in Shadow is very close to hitting the publisher's desk. It's going to be a large book.

    - There is a non-zero chance that Kallor might get his own book (?!)

    - A standalone, non-Malazan book is being published by Subterranean Press; it's science fiction.

    - Legacies of Betrayal (Witness #3) is all, or almost entirely, focused on marine squads.

    - Witness #4 is (at least tentatively) titled The Last God. Karsa will make an appearance.

    - The third collection of Bauchelain and Korbal Broach is still coming, likely after Walk in Shadow and Legacies of Betrayal.

    - Ian Esslemont's fifth Path to Ascendancy book is very nearly ready for publication.

    - After the current in-progress series are finished (Witness, Kharkanas, B&KB, PtA), both authors will be done writing stories in the Malazan world.

    - After completing The Crippled God in 2011, Erikson took a week off writing, read the collected works of Shakespeare, and then started work on Forge of Darkness. Unreal.

    It was a great way to spend an evening and I hope he does more of these with Munro's. I'm happy to try and answer any questions.

    Unbound Worlds now redirects to the PRH website, so that Top 100 fantasy link no longer works. Here's a very similar one though: https://reedsy.com/discovery/blog/best-fantasy-series

    Because some mobile browsers don't resize and it makes the thread unreadable.

    Just out of curiosity, why is it necessary to spoiler big pics on this forum? They go off the page and don't cause the text to unwrap, and they get resized in mobile browsers. I don't mind doing it; just asking.

    There is a word to describe that pic, I just found one in the depths of my convulsing brain. It's DISTURBING but in a funny way.

    If you're keeping score, I think my conversation (in a WoT thread, I think) with that one noob-troll about how to get banned from Malazan is worth a few. (i.e. "I recommend telling Malaclypse he's a douchebag.")

    When the new order rises, lazy posters will be among the first to be purged.

    Good call with the spoilers tags. I didn't want to add them because it makes it extra work to read posts :D
