The first in my new video series "Is This Book Better Than Being Hit By A Car?"
YES.
My review of the excellent The God Is Not Willing by Steven Erickson, book 1 of the Witness Trilogy. We explore the ripple effects of our actions, anger, compassion, the loss of innocence, and really terrible plans to confront people who will big cromch you. To quote the musical PARADE, "Where will you stand when the flood comes?"

Thanks for the review, Allen. So glad you're on the mend. Though Christmas has passed, Stillwater wants me to pass on a message. She'd like a dog.

Aha! So, it turns out that the Allen IS willing . . . to read and review The God Is Not Willing! It's awesome to hear your thoughts, though I am so sad to disappoint you with the news about Karsa not being willing to show up in book two. You are so right about getting more from a Malazan book on a reread. Very nice pronunciations too . . . 😄

Yes Allen, I am just as excited about Teblor Marines! I was moved by that whole thing as well. “In your eyes we ceased to be the enemy. In our eyes now, and forever more, you cease to be ours.” Quote of the book and one of the best of all the Malazan books.

I had a great time reading this book. Time may have passed, but Malazan marines are like no other. I missed their banter and just what they represent in that world. Erikson is really building that anticipation for Karsa’s appearance.

Teblor marines for the win! Excellent review! Great point about how Karsa's presence looms large in this book. Rant is the quintessential teenage Teblor. "No, you're not, Rant." 🤣I think Erikson is protecting Rant by keeping Karsa off the page, but I hope we get Karsa at some point. Looking forward to No Life Forsaken!
@TheLibraryofAllenxandria
@TheLibraryofAllenxandria Год назад
Yes! He must be protecting him! Maybe Karsa will just say "you do it" and Rant will ascend lol

I’m late but only because I just read the book! Awesome review, I loved the book too, and you were spot on with everything you said. Despite the fact that there’s KIND OF a lot going on - it’s also a MUCH tighter book than any in MBotF. Much more focused, and really only 2 major plot lines. Yeah a lot of named characters still, but it didn’t feel like too much to keep track of, for me Really looking forward to the next - WITNESS.

@berserker8884 Год назад
Im pretty sure the next book is set in Seven Cities thanks to Niflrog(Erikson was literally like "yeah you are right, it has to be Seven Cities, doesn't it?")! Knowing it's your favorite Malazan region, I'm really excited for you! And I'm obviously stoked for another Erikson book, because The God is Not Willing was a 10/10 for me.

This review was fantastic Allen. 1st so glad you're well and on the mend. OK, I read this book earlier this year and didn't know what to think of it. You're review has turned it into a comedy book for me. Lol. You had me laughing out loud. And I think it's changing my view on this book. Definitely makes me want to reread it. Also you nailed something key about Malazan. It gets better upon each reread. Erikson is a genius.

Had a visual of Karsa on his porch like Clint Eastwood in Gran Torino with a six pack of beer yelling at people to get off his lawn. Hairbrained prediction - Rant falls in love with one of Hetan's daughters so we have a meeting between Karsa and Kruppe. Yes, very pumped. Many tbr's will be thrown in disarray when book 2 comes out.

Happy New Year! I'm the weird person who read 25-30% of Gardens of The Moon, quit, then read The God Is Not Willing (was told this was okay by a Malazan veteran to get into Erikson's writing), disliked it, then read 54% of Deadhouse Gates and again quit. It is probably the biggest failed reading experience for me other than Ulysses and Infinite Jest because I just don't get it. Enjoyed listening to your review. Happy reading!
