Gardens of the Moon - Full Malazan Spoilers with Philip Chase 

Ah, good to see that, once again, you've captured my good side in the thumbnail! Of course, that's not hard when someone doesn't have even a trace of a bad side . . . not even a whiff of evil . . . no nefariousness in this Dr.! 😄

The Otataral Dragon was introduced as an unstoppable monster. But when we see it in action it is actually it is sad and vulnerable.

Lorn's conversations with Tool are one of my favourite parts of the book

Corabb carrying Fiddler out of Yghatan was a huge sacrifice for someone else

Another reason for not getting in Rake's head is that he was not there for the Turning. While Kaminsod seems to have difficulty comprehending compassion and sacrifice as mentioned, he similarly has difficulty with love and grief. Hence the change of narrator in Toll. Or perhaps a bit too much authorial necromancy is being practiced. Considering the narrators in Karkanas, does that make Fisher a developmental editor as much as a bard? Kaminsod likely needed some assistance and look at all the Fisher prologues. He did some freelance work with Duiker too who likely had to self publish due to issues with his publisher, Lasseen.

When I heard "nemesissity" all I could think of was: "Look for the nemesissity, the simple nemesissity Forget about your worries and your strife I mean the nemesissity, old mother nature's recipes That bring the nemesissities of life" It was a pleasure to watch this video, it's an exciting video series already :) and much needed for sure. This way of discussing the Malazan books is so far my favorite. Your knowledge and analysis are really priceless, thank you so much! And the Malazan puns are great, we want more! :)

Ahh, I see the Emperor and his Rope have reunited once again! So excited for this series! Especially for when you get to HOC!

I would very much welcome you two doing this same thing for the Novels of the Malazan Empire at some point.

So good I don't mind spoilers 😊. Thus, I can watch these videos. Which I'm very grateful for. They usually make my day 😊.

Not even watched this yet. Was just looking for it and it struck me. I would love to see you both discuss Rejoice.

Thanks a lot both of you for another fascination discussion! @A.P : your explanation was very interesting. I'll definitively keep your perspective in mind in my next re-read.

This is it, absolutely. I thought you'd already done it, but no, it's this. This is the perfect thumbnail. Also, why does Darth Philip kind of look like Gary Oldman? :)

It's not just that Kaminsod acknowledges his own complicity; he casts himself as the series' archvillain He puts his own fingers in every evil pie, big bad evil guy

Here's to Fremesis!! Loved this breakdown and I'll keep a lot of this in mind during my re-read. It also helps to have this kind of info when explaining to friends who are reading it as well. Very cool, thanks!

where is the crippled god live chat? been looking forward to it

Haven't even finished the series once, never mind rereading. But how could I resist my favourite nemesisity!

Philip expresses his nemesissitude with verve.

The Pannion Domin grew over a period of over 15 years. Lots of people died and suffered over this time. Forgiving the Crippled God is forgiving genocide but it wasn't about forgiveness in this case I believe but taking the Crippled God out from where he didn't belong because it was damaging him and also the Malazan world. I think that Kellanved and Cotillion knew this and hopefully Kaminsod will be happier as well now.

I'm looking forward to this series. With A.P. Solo riding stick, we will defeat the nefarious Darth Chase and his 20.3k Stormtroopers.

What do you think Raest will do if he ever gets out of the Azath house? Open a flower shop?

Speaking of Kaminsod, what is the consensus on what happened after Cotillion stabbed him? I initially thought he went to his home realm, but then remembered that it was destroyed by the Tiste Andii. The other possibility is he is simply dead, but then how did he write the Malazan Book of the Fallen?

Some nobles could achieve something in the end! Laseen has promoted Tavore so sees her ability.

I like dogs :)

“Like I said, he’s a monster” Philip, you called it, I was THIS close to unsubscribing for that AWFUL, SHAMEFUL ATTACK against those of us who love our purr babies! 😤

I am disappointed that neither of you mentioned the most important character in the series, Hairlock. He is the one pulling all the strings...you could say he was the true puppet...master...

sore point... doesn't have a leg to stand on... *groan* Korlat would not forgive you these horrible puns about Whiskeyjack!!
