Kruppe Bombadil

It was originally a screenplay reworked into a novel! The series definitely picks up as it goes on though.

I need a balding Matt Berry to play Kruppe in a Malazan adaptation. Pretty please.

"It’s the ignorant who find a cause and cling to it, for within that is the illusion of significance. Faith, a king, queen or Emperor, or vengeance…all the bastion of fools."

Malazan!

Make way, here comes a sapper we all know

It's confusing at first, but it's by design. It will eventually start coming together into a cohesive picture. I hope you enjoy it!

Hey Sha'ik, you keep crazy company

Oops, just missed her

Like you said, wise financial decisions

Now you get to the good part, reading it again! 🤣

It's so relevant now, too. Reading Midnight Tides and drawing parallels between the US and Letheras is painful sometimes

Rhulad is infuriating and heartbreaking. He's like Felisin for me, I want to simultaneously hug and punch sense into him. He was still just a kid.

Lostara is a real one, through and through. Breaks my heart every single time

Missing my girl tonight. She was such a good sport about my bullshit, the best reading buddy ever.

Ah, northern scurvy 😞

Microdosing hell by living in America

Is the secret ingredient crime? Or is that what they put in the geese?

Oh man, what a time to finish it 😭 although I'm excited for you to get to Bonehunters, it's so good.

Take care of yourself tonight and tomorrow! Honestly, curled up with Malazan is probably the best place to be right now

Toll the Hounds is beautiful. One of, if not the best, book in the entire series.

They really bring much needed levity to MT. Especially now, the Letherii/American oligarchy parallels are heavier every year.

I'm not going to comment on whether they keep showing up though, lol 🫡

He's almost done with Memories of Ice and I can't wait

It's not even funny at this point 😭

🤣 that's perfect

One of my favorite duos in Malazan. The fact that Tehol makes existence worth it for Bugg is so sweet

I hope you continue to enjoy Malazan! It's such an experience

That first read through is just the price of admission, in my opinion. The re-read is where it's at.

That said, there isn't a lot I wouldn't do to be able to experience it for the first time again lol

Yeah. Brace for impact, lol
