I ended up reading The Black Company and Thomas Covenant because I enjoyed MBOTF so much. Erikson frequently mentions them as his inspiration, and they often give Erikson praise in return. I only ended up reading the first trilogy of books for Thomas Covenant because I honestly thought it was the perfect ending. And anyone I've asked about the next two trilogies has done nothing but shit on it saying it needlessly undoes the perfect character development. It wasn't the best book series I've ever read. It's probably more hit and miss than Malazan. But something about it resonated with me personally and hit me harder than anything else I've ever read.

Interesting. Book 3 and 4 were what hooked me and convinced me to read all 10. But fair enough. It's really not a series for everyone.

Just finished The Power that Preserves 20 minutes ago. For how bleak the trilogy was I was surprised with the uplifting ending. I'm not sure if I'll read the other books. Mostly because I'm happy with the ending as is.
