❓Who is your favorite female character in SFF? 📖“A hero does not choose her trials.

I've already shared with you my favorite female authors and my TBR. Today I would like to write about my favorite female heroes, anti-heroes, or… something in between?

The real and true function of priests of all colours is simply that of listening to a litany of moans, fears, and confessions, all for the betterment of someone's soul--never could figure out whose, but no matter.

Steven Erikson, “The Crippled God”, from the Malazan Book of the Fallen series

Currently reading book 7 but finally have all 10. One of the best high fantasy series of all time right here. . . #malazanbookofthefallen #malazan #epicfantasy #highfantasy #books #series #reading #shelfie #gardensofthemoon #DeadhouseGates #memoriesofice #houseofchains #midnighttides #thebonehunters #reapersgale #tollthehounds #dustofdreams #thecrippledgod #stevenerikson #instabooks #bookstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/BpJq84GHJPK/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=w55krxefauq8

Ho finito "I Segugi Dell'Ombra". Cosa si può dire di un libro così? Tanti tasselli vanno al loro posto, è un crescendo di emozioni per tutta la durata, gli ultimi capitoli sono incredibili e il finale fa scendere sempre qualche lacrima. Inutile citare tutto, svelerei troppe cose. Tra le tantissime, solo una cosa per cui Erikson si guadagna la mia stima imperitura : i dialoghi tra Karsa e il Viaggiatore! Meriterebbero di essere studiati nelle Università e dai manovratori della finanza. #libri #libromalazandeicaduti #lettura #malazanbookofthefallen #reading #stevenerikson #steveneriksonbook #isegugidellombra #tollthehounds #armeniaedizioni #armeniaeditore https://www.instagram.com/p/CUKRZx8oeK-/?utm_medium=tumblr

Gardens of the Moon is a visionary tour de force in epic fantasy literature heaving readers into a grim and relentless world where creatures, sorcerers, and gods are playing three-dimensional chess.

Hope you are having a great Saturday! I’ve been working on some schoolwork but I’m done for the day and now I’ll read a bit. • • • Gardens of the Moon (Malazan Book of the Fallen #1) by Steven Erikson The Malazan Empire simmers with discontent, bled dry by interminable warfare, bitter infighting and bloody confrontations with the formidable Anomander Rake and his Tiste Andii, ancient and implacable sorcerers. Even the imperial legions, long inured to the bloodshed, yearn for some respite. Yet Empress Laseen's rule remains absolute, enforced by her dread Claw assassins. For Sergeant Whiskeyjack and his squad of Bridgeburners, and for Tattersail, surviving cadre mage of the Second Legion, the aftermath of the siege of Pale should have been a time to mourn the many dead. But Darujhistan, last of the Free Cities of Genabackis, yet holds out. It is to this ancient citadel that Laseen turns her predatory gaze. However, it would appear that the Empire is not alone in this great game. Sinister, shadowbound forces are gathering as the gods themselves prepare to play their hand... Conceived and written on a panoramic scale, Gardens of the Moon is epic fantasy of the highest order--an enthralling adventure by an outstanding new voice. • • • •#gardensofthemoon #stevenerikson #themalazanbookofthefallen #epicfantasy #highfantasy #adultfantasy #fiction #bookdragon #booklover https://www.instagram.com/p/B4GGrUpAg6W/?igshid=x0327jtiosvn

I think 🤔 I’m starting to hate this book lol. It’s very detailed and someone lent it to me but it’s not a quick read and I just want to give it back because I have so many other books to read 😂. Hard to get into but really good if you have the time! #gardensofthemoon #malazanbookofthefallen #bookone #stevenerikson #startingtohatethisbook #buticantstopreadingit #mixedfeelings (at Winnipeg, Manitoba) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtILkHFAdWi/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=zjohlx417ekl

🇮🇹 Ed ho finito anche "Venti di Morte". Stavolta il viaggio a Letheras è stato strepitoso anche se la parte finale (le ultime 200 pagine) mi ha devastato. 🇬🇧 "Reaper's Gale" finished! The journey to Letheras was amazing this time even if the final part left me totally devastated. #libri #libromalazandeicaduti #lettura #malazanbookofthefallen #reading #stevenerikson #steveneriksonbook #ventidimorte #reapersgale #armeniaedizioni #armeniaeditore (presso Buccinasco) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRWizOwJdaW/?utm_medium=tumblr

Book 2/25 - Willful Child: Amusing take on a Star Trek parody. If you’ve seen any parodies before like Zapp Brannigan or Tripping the Riff, there is nothing new here. Fun quick read and a start of a trilogy. #willfulchild #stevenerikson #reading #fiction #neverstoplearning #feedyourbrain https://www.instagram.com/p/BsR1cT2gnzY/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1lr4z5onceq3q

The Wyrd Reading List: The Stop by Nick Saul and Andrea Curtis. The Hidden Life of Trees by Peter Wohlleben. Memories of Ice by Steven Erikson. 🤓 I tend to read more than one book at a time... it's a condition. Might start adding a sort of book review thing to my blog? 🤔 . . . #wyrdreading #bookworm #bookdragon #thestop #stevenerikson #hiddenlifeoftrees #whatimreading #christinewyrd #nerd #wordsarepowerful
