the Malazan Book of the Fallen series by Steven Erikson

My overall one sentence media review of the entire 150 hour endeavor that is this series (altho of course it has spawned a dozen other ancillary novels at this point) is that if you have the time and patience for a long series of books where you never really know what the plot is in any useful sense, but an endless succession of characters have deep, extended, metaphorically minded conversations about it, all interspersed fairly frequently with devastating violence, then they will reward you deeply, but if not, you'd have a way better time re-reading Brandon Sanderson.
