Very interesting hearing your thoughts, congrats on making it through! Sounds like you are still digesting and I can so relate to that. I kept mulling and chewing on it for ages and reflecting back on the early books after I knew what the whole plan was and it keeps on giving. Seems like you had a fun time, thanks for sharing!

Super late congratulations, Pete! Loved hearing your thoughts and enjoyed the way you talked about the dogmatic circle the Grey Helms got stuck in and relating that to some areas of Christianity or interpretation of the religion. I was expecting a little more page time from Karsa but really enjoyed what we did get with his character. I’m looking forward to seeing what the other Malazan novels have in store and look forward to hearing your thoughts on those as well!

Congrats yourself! I’m about halfway through your crippled god vid and am loving what you have to say. Hopefully we’ll get more page time for Karsa in book 3 of the God is Not Willing Trilogy

@@PonderingsOfPete loved it, no other series quite compares for me. I'm eager to jump in to the other books in the series. I'd be interested in hearing what order you'd rank the books as far as enjoyment. For me I really loved Midnight Tides, Toll the Hounds, and the Crippled God but the rest were also amazing.

shadowthrone does not make plans, he looks at the chessboard and makes the best move.

But even the chess player plans ahead for umpteen different possibilities

@@PonderingsOfPete not really, super GM's stop having plans - or you could say that they have enough plans that every move would be a part of their plan... at that point it becomes semantics. it is the same with shadow throne - he needed feet on the ground for the endgame, and so he planted Sorry in the malazan army... but there is any number of ways that could have turned out, the important thing is that they all resulted in shadowthrone having feet on the ground at the end when he needed them. it was never a single plan but a realization that this move would lead to patterns that all resulted in the desired outcome

@@theriddler2277 and that’s kinda what I mean by plans. I don’t really mean that Shadowthrone had one plan that went through. I mean that he had a goal and number of possibilities in hand, such as Lostara and Sorry both in the process of getting to places to be his boots on the ground in two different but similar senses. It is really semantics.

Ah yes Christianity and the Bible. The first great fantasy series. I'm thinking now what if Erikson is a Creationist since in MBotF humans ride dinosaurs just like Jesus used to. 🤔 🤣 Gesler as Jesus. Jeslus perhaps? Thanks for the synopsis.
