Half way into book 4 and yes, its completely awesome. So much so that I ordered book 5 and 6 from Canada instead of waiting for the American releases. When all is said and done and the American market finally catchs on, I wouldn't be surprised if Malazan is looked at as better than A Song of Ice and Fire.

Those two are compared, but not really accurately. They will both kill any character, that's about it. Where Ice and Fire is realistic with little magic, Malazan is hyper fantasy, Gods getting killed, humans ascending, and so many bad ass, could-decimate-an-army characters that its pretty unreal.
