Once you make it to the third act all the plot threads come together well and start feeling relevant to what’s going on, and it has a good climax.

Malazan Book of the Fallen, Broken Binding hardcover release
- Thread starter EviLore
- Start date
Just ordered. Missed the opening by several hours due to misreading "BST" as "EST" 
No idea what batch I'm in though, is there some way to suss this out or does it come in an email?
Hopefully they add some sort of auto-subscribe for each book release so I don't have to play this game each time.
And man, I am sooooo out of fantasy. I looked at the other books they offer and wow, never even heard of most of them. Must be popular to justify such elaborate editions but no clue who they are.

They'll drop us an email by the end of August to let us know what batch we're in. I'm hoping I managed to squeeze into batch 2, the website was overloaded for a little while and I couldn't place my order for a good 20 mins.Just ordered.

I don't really care which batch so long as the quality is consistent, maybe even get any typos or small issues fixed between batch 1 and 3.
Wonder if Steven is signing each actual book or just a buuuunnnnccchhhhh of nameplates. Damn, having to sign thousands of times in a consistent way....hell on earth!

I’ve given it some thought. We could be waiting until Q2 of 2026 for the final book. With 7 books left, how will they divide them? 3 & 4? Or will it be 2 sets of 3 books and the last one sold as a standalone? If they decide to release the last book as a standalone, I could see it working out like this:
Q1 2025 preview the next set of books (HoC, MT & TB), Q2 release them. Q3 preview the next set (RG, TtH & DoD). Q4 release them. Q1 2026 announce the last book (TCG), then release the final book sometime in Q2 2026.
On the bright side there will be plenty of time to start and finish each set between releases.

Luckily the thread bump reminded me to place my order. Thanks again mate and others who took their time to describe the series.
Cheers, hope you enjoy.

I bought book 1, Gardens of the Moon on Kindle. I started it last night. I’m looking over the maps and characters. It’s a lot to take in, but I’ll definitely reference the first few couple pages. There’s a nice glimpse into this world through the words of the author.
