Tossing Malazan Book of the Fallen into the “chewy” pile!
Also seconding Redwall, Brandon Sanderson and Terry Pratchett. Robert Jordan likes to tug braids for chapters at a time but there’s still good nuggets throughout.
Flipping through the synopsis and my interest is definitely piqued. Idk if I can do ten big volumes any time soon, but I’ll try to remember this if I ever have enormous free time on my hands.
Its definitely worth the time investment. World building is amazing, very wide variety of character perspectives and motivations. I’ll admit, I’ve never actually finished the series either. I made it to book 8 twice before falling off because you’re right, ten massive books is a lot. I do have book 8 on order now, going to start from there this time.
Also if you or anyone reading this comment likes black metal check out Caladan Brood. The project is named after a Malazan character and all the songs on their single album are rooted in various plots from the series.
