Now reading: The Emperor's Blades, by new writer Brian Staveley. So far, I'm liking it.
And Malazan is on the to-read list, though I have about one month and a half before grad school, so I'll probably interrupt the saga...

When he took over after Robert Jordan passed away he brought new life to the wheel of time series. Enough that I need to check out his stuff. Still have Song of Ice and Fire, and The Dark Tower series to read first

There was about a thousand pages of nothing but the battle that Robert Jordan has promised us for so many years. Without adding any spoilers all I can say is that the wait was surprisingly worth it. Stick through the slow times and eventually you will be rewarded with the final payoff.

I was just about to ask Jake what the names of those Malazan books were, they seemed to be highly recommended. I read The Strain yesterday, that was good. I started Name of the Wind this morning but I'm going camping this weekend and it'll have to wait a bit.

I am on book 7 right now...have loved every second of reading each book so far... I heard from this point for the next few are slow..but I'm sure I'll still love them..
this has been the most epic book journey so far! Can't wait to see how it ends!

I do have the way of kings sitting in my bookshelf, so perhaps I will give that a go! I have never read anything by Sanderson. How is mistborn?

So close to the end. So much tragedy.

Great fucking book!! Just finished it last April and I was not disappointed. I think the last battle raged for 800 pages or so. Lots of death and desperation just like the series promised in its early days when it was darker and consistent. As Alex just said, those last three books with Sanderson on them really made up for the slower ones where almost nothing happened in 1,000 pages.
