>Malazan is written like an historical textbook, lots of world building, little characterisation
Completely incorrect assessment. The characterisation is however of a much subtler kind than most fiction. You have to make an effort to put yourself in the POVs shoes, as you're not being force-fed telegraphed character arcs. It's all written as short fiction, but since it's labeled as epic fantasy everyone goes in reading it the wrong way.
