I've finally started Rosemary and Rue, the first October Daye book. So far, fascinating world building.

Im reading Deadhouse landing (anyone familiar with Malazan book of the fallen will know)

Only recently finished the main series + TGiNW so I'm having a break before I try and dive into any of ICE's books. How does he compare with Steve?

I would suggest you to read ICE books before TGiNW. I have read only Dancers lament and Deadhouse landing. So far I love it. His writing is nowhere near as complexsive as Eriksons but that was fine with me. In Path to Ascendancy series you get to know Cotillion and Shadowthrone from their young days to how they got to where they are in original series. On top of that you finally get to know big mysteries from original like Laseen, Urko, Crust, Dujek, Dassem and many more. Deadhouse landing felt like a fan service done right. So i highly recommend it !

Already finished it sadly but I do like the idea of Malazan fan service so I'll definitely get round to them, thanks!
