Community Consensus

Medium Debate

"The overwhelming consensus, particularly regarding the highly detailed Malazan reading order, is to start with the main chronological sequence (Gardens of the Moon) and proceed through the primary ten books in order of release. Prequel novels (like Forge of Darkness) and companion series (like the Esslemont novels) should be held off until the main series is completed, as they rely heavily on prior knowledge or contain spoilers. For Dragonlance, the core novels (Chronicles 1-3, Legends, Dragons of Summer Flame) are the required starting path."

Key Reddit Advice

Start with Gardens of the Moon (Book 1 of the Malazan Book of the Fallen). Follow the main sequence (1-10) before attempting prequels or tie-in novels. For maximum safety, read all 10 Erikson novels first, then the Esslemont books.
