The esslemont books pick up and improve as they go along. Return of the Crimson Guard is really good.

Erikson is the master of epic fantasy. You want sweeping, vast, varied, interconnected plotlines? Check.

You want to laugh? Check.

You want to cry when characters you love are ripped away from you? Check. So many times.

You want gritty realism when it comes to politics and war? Check.

You want moral dilemmas? Check.

You want character growth? Check.
You want a final book in the series that will go on for frigging ever? Check.

I'm on page 300ish of Crippled God, waiting for it to pick up speed.
