Malazan probably. So many people love it, and it looked like something I'd like, I even had a friend also reading it with me. I wanted to like it so much. After one and half books, I realized I couldn't care less about what happened to any of the characters and I didn't understand anything about the magic stuff, so I stopped reading.

    Ya, I can see that. I really had to stick with grinding through the first two books. Top notch writing and characters (imo), but the confusion about what was going on was a tough slog to get through.

    Still became one of my favourite series though. If you’re ever stranded on a beautiful tropical island and happen to have this book, I do encourage you to try it again.
