Magician by Raymond Feist was always something that floated around my periphery. While I appreciated the immense depth and detail, I wasn’t up for the challenge and put it on hold after book three. Little did I know that I would have to receive a PhD in Steven Erikson’s work to enjoy them: dropping you in the middle of multiple conflicts, it’s up to you to untease the sprawling subplots over hundreds of characters. I first dipped my toes in the Malazan Book of the Fallen series. Being swamped with work, I decided to forgo the edifying classics and attack my increasingly growing fantasy reading list. I rediscovered my love for pleasure-driven reading this past Spring when I received a Kindle for my birthday. This was a much needed meat and potatoes fantasy.
