Oh man, threads like these make me sad. Used to read about 3-4 books per month, now I barely have time for 1 or so in 2 months :( 

Anyway, I recently finished Memories of Ice by Steven Erikson. Well, half-finished, because I just couldn't bring myself to keep reading this one. I enjoyed parts of Deadhouse Gates and Gardens of the Moon, but after upwards of 2,000 pages I couldn't relate to the world, to the story or to most of the characters. Shame, I kept reading/hearing very good things about the Malazan series, though at this point I can't see what people found in it. Erikson's writing style didn't grab me and apart from an overbearing sense of nihilism I didn't get anything out of the books. Also while I love weird stuff, his setting is so over the top that I can't identify with it in any way. 

I'm currently planning on getting some of Robin Hobb's books, her Farseer Trilogy has gotten lots of praise and I've been wanting to read it for quite some time now. Meanwhile, I've got my hands on Uprooted by Naomi Novik, which won the 2016 Nebula Award for Best Novel so I'm hoping it's good.
