Finally finished Erikson's Malazan series, took me almost a year, although part of that was losing some steam during Dust of Dreams and spending a couple of months reading another fantasy series.
In the end, I thought the latter half of book 9 and then the final book did a really fine job at finishing up the series. Much better than, for example, Sanderson's work on The Wheel of Time. But of course Erikson finished his own series, so there's that distinct advantage. In any case, for the density of the writing, and the crazy number of plot threads, I thought he did a pretty amazing job at bringing everything together at the end. Actually a bit sad to be done with it.
