The Tawny Man Trilogy by Robin Hobb
"You always chose to be bound by who you are. Now choose to be freed by who you are."
The Farseer Trilogy by Robin Hobb
"Fool, there is no sense in trying to play that game with the past. Here is where we are today, and we can only make our moves from here."
Midnight Tides by Steven Erikson
★★★★★ "If I’d known this was going to be a day for killing gods, I might have paced myself better." I'll start off by saying that this isn't my favourite quote of the book, but Tehol and Bugg's conversations are too long to properly quote and I think this one delivers the general tone of …

Let’s talk about Malazan Book of the Fallen! I’m finally halfway through the main serie so I thought it was time to write down some of my thoughts before starting on the other five books (well technically I’m now more than halfway through The Bonehunters but when I wrote this I wasn’t). I will make …
