That's the way I went on my 1st time. It actually gave some good character building on a few people that I appreciated connecting to when I got to main bks. I didn't find anything spoiled with this order. Still it's a bad book compared to main so if your going to tackle WoT I say get it out of the way as it's a prequel and the bar is lower compared to others so a new reader won't find it near as bad. I've read the series 3 times and only bothered with NS the 1st time. I've had people thank me afterward that went this route and people tell me they wish they had done it cause they couldn't finish it. Lol that 2nd reaction always amuses me haha

If your doing WoT for the 1st time then yes New Spring is the way to go. Read it once then if you do a series reread don't bother with it. If you have read any of them before then New Spring will be hard to get into.

Oh heck I couldn't even begin to tell cause I don't remember which says a lot on why it didn't grab me. There was no hook set in my mouth. Lol

The mods are hawks about Malazan spoilers and order. It's set up for each book having its own board. The chances of seeing a random spoiler is low unless you hit the wrong board.

No problem always willing to help out a fellow Malazan reader. I'd also recommend to join Malazan Empire board if you don't mind a more gritty message board with no language restrictions. It's my main board and I love that place. Great people there.

I tried Recluse 1 a few years ago. Never made it past 125 pgs. That was really boring.

That trilogy is set 5 yrs after ROTJ. They have Truce at Bakura which takes place the day after ROTJ, Shadows of Mindor just a few yrs after ROTJ, Courtship of Princess Leia few yrs ROTJ. the old legends has a vast number of books. Their should be a timeline in the book for all titles that you can see if they are new printed Legends. It became standard in NJO which you should def read.

Here it is. No spoilers just scroll down to the Ultimate reading order. It includes Main 10, ICE & the KnB novellas(I'm not doing those) http://malazan.wikia.com/wiki/Suggested_reading_order

I can link Malazan wiki. Some ICE books take place before, during& after the main 10. I'm going this route to experience the full thing this time around. These ICE books weren't all out during the 10 as they were new so I didn't have the option then.

Something told me you would be one of the majority and not the minority like me. really hope the 2nd goes incredible like I heard.

Bk 8 was my least favorite of the 10 on my 1st time. I've heard it's pretty outstanding on the 2nd so I'm actually looking forward to it to see if this is so. I'm currently on bk5 of my 2nd read through. I'm adding in the bks by ICE this time around as well.

Don't stop!!! that show is amazing tv

DG is some powerful stuff!

Finnnaallly finished HoC. Only took 45 days to do it. Fell so far behind my hoped for schedule on it. Man I forgot how good that last part of it was! onto MT! Hopefully that goes much quicker! I'm excited!!

Wow GoT S7e2! Now that was tense in a few places. Ep 3 ought to be....great. Something is likely to happen that the books have been leading up to for so long. I just KNOW that ep 3 is going to end on this point and make us wait till ep 4 to see the outcome.

Reading time is practically zero progress the last week. extra kids being here will do that though. It's going to be a LONG 3 weeks till my nephew and niece go back to Houston...

It just makes you wonder what he was thinking or if anyone on staff even bothered to say "hey wait that's not what his name is & fire benders don't have to have flames to bend." He even says in interviews he wanted to make this cause he had such a great time watching the toon with his kid. So was he lying about that? I know the creators were furious and couldn't do a thing about it sadly. Waste of everyone's time including M Nights, he could have made serious bank if he stuck to the proper things in the yrs that followed.

Wait. How can Galavant fall flat? That show was ace. The adult humor in that show rivals Archer but with song. Your right though you prob will be in the minority not liking Firefly lol! i ll def agree about Last Airbender. He tanked that from the great toon material with his dumb changes. I guarantee if he hadn't been so bullheaded all the Books would have made live action easy. How dare he make fire benders have to have actual fire in order to Bend! That pronunciation of Aang...painful.

Yep I waited. That book was bad and set me against buying the next in hardcover unless it's got 5 star reviews everywhere I look I ll just wait for the PB to come out.

I would say that bk 3 is a waste of the trees that it was printed on. One of the worst if not the worst books I've ever read. Heartbreaking really as 1 & 2 were such strong books.

Loved the 6 Fitz I've read. Bk 2 is the best by far. I'm waiting till the 3 new ones are all in paperback before I buy them.

Loved GoT S7 opener last night!

If you want another PI try out Dresden Files. It's amazing from bk 4 on. 1-3 are short easy reads though.

Where are you in 7?

Yes. However that was one of single worst adaptations in human history. It followed nothing from the books other than characters names and their basic roles. That show SUCKS! the books are pretty meh from 1 to 2/3 into book 3 and then the series blasts off into epicness.
