How is this series? I only glanced at the spoiler but some of the last bit was…a lot. Do most of the books receive that trigger warning or is that more of a endgame thing?
As Llamapacolypse said, it has it’s dark moments. What I wrote above is some of the darkest. It never goes into too much detail when it involves some of the more triggering things. Just a fade to black.
That said it’s such an intensely human series. So much love and compassion litered throughout the whole thing.
It’s also such a unique experience. Most fantasy books have huge massive reveals that shock and take you by surprise. Malazan has these things. But it also does it in reverse. You’ll read something and then a book or two later it changes context entirely, completely blowing your mind.
The series is fantastic but it does get quite heavy in a lot of ways. Very heavy on the ways people and societies are shitty to each other, but the central theme of it really is compassion.
