Hmm suppose I should actually do the recommendation:
An anthropologist decides his ADND setting is a great vehicle to write a deconstruction of epic fantasy and gives us the story of some poor bastards trying to survive while being ground between the gears of decadent weirdos who ascended to political power and decadent weirdos who ascended to godhood.
Tehol/Bugg for President. A podsherd in every home.
I started reading WoT, then started and finished Malazan main, then tried going back to WoT and I just couldn't do it. Started re-reading Malazan again.
Erikson's background in sociology/anthropology/historiography and Iowa Writer's workshop chops just puts Malazan in a different tier from pretty much everything, especially Sanderson.
