I just completed The Terror by Dan Simmons and I am currently reading the second book in the Malazan series by Erikson, Deadhouse Gates.
Malazan is amazing.
I found quite difficult to assess the Terror. It was quite a long read for the first 700 pages, then I really enjoyed the last 2 hundreds. But in retrospect I appreciate this slow pace so … I am not sure about my judgement. In the end I am glad to have read it. I also learned a lot about people and cultures of the Artic circle.
After the Malazan novel I will probably follow upon the third one, but I could also switch back to (re) reading Iain M. Banks or reading Peake’s Ghormenghast for the first time.
