mahershalalhashbaz posted:i have been exploring modern fantasy (published in the past ten years) and wow it is bad. it feels like the genre has not evolved at all. I recently checked out Malazan Book of the Fallen by Steven Erikson. I read the first book in the series, Gardens of the Moon, and was blown away. Here's what others had to say about it: Wikipedia posted:The series was positively received by critics, who praised the epic scope, plot complexity and the introspective nature of the characterization, which serve as social commentary. Fellow author Glen Cook has called the series a masterwork of the imagination that may be the high water mark of the epic fantasy genre. In his treatise written for The New York Review of Science Fiction, fellow author Stephen R. Donaldson has also praised Erikson for his approach to the fantasy genre, the subversion of classical tropes, the complex characterizations, the social commentary — pointing explicitly to parallels between the fictional Letheras Economy and the US Economy — and has compared him to the likes of Joseph Conrad, Henry James, William Faulkner, and Fyodor Dostoevsky.
