Review<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“NOT sponsored\/promotional.”<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Multiverse Books (#mvfantasy) is an online seller on Amazon (India). I have previously reviewed a few book sellers, be it the online ones with a website (like Bookzoo<\/mark><\/a><\/em><\/strong>, MyPustak.com<\/mark><\/a><\/em><\/strong>, Second Hand Books India<\/mark><\/a><\/em><\/strong>, etc.), or the offline ones who have book fairs\/book sales (like BooksByWeight<\/mark><\/a><\/em><\/strong>, Bestseller Books<\/mark><\/a><\/em><\/strong>, etc.). But this one is an odd one out really. So why am I doing a review on it you ask? Here’s why –<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, since the start of 2023, after almost near endless hours on YouTube (or rather “BookTube”, should I say), I was really intrigued by one book series in particular – the ‘Malazan Book of the Fallen’ by Steven Erikson. Now, I was very much aware of the series as a whole, but never really had a chance to fully know about it… until now. And I was instantly hooked to the whole idea\/concept of the series. What is it about you ask? Let me help enlighten you quickly before we move on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ‘Malazan Book of the Fallen’ is an epic\/high fantasy series consisting of 10 books written by the Canadian author Steven Erikson. Now, there are many more books\/novellas set in the ‘Malazan’ world, including the ‘Novels of the Malazan Empire’, a series of 6 books by another Canadian author Ian C. Esslemont (and yeah, these two are close friends if you couldn’t tell!). The two aforementioned series are considered as the “main\/core” series, while the other series including two prequel series (one by Erikson and the other by Esslemont), one sequel series (by Erikson), and other novellas (by Erikson), make up the whole ‘Malazan’ universe so as to speak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyways, the reason I mentioned this is because, as I said before, I was absolutely mesmerized by the whole concept\/plot of the series in general, and after getting too much hyped (again, thanks to “BookTube”), I finally decided to go ahead and pick up the series. But there was a slight problem… the books were too expensive! After looking through multiple websites\/sellers online, I just couldn’t find the price I was searching for. Of course, the books were available in the Indian market. That was not the issue. It was that the price was just too high everywhere. Until…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I came upon Multiverse Books (#mvfantasy) on Amazon (India) purely by chance. They had the first book in the series, Gardens of the Moon<\/mark><\/a><\/em><\/strong>, that too at the right price, so I just couldn’t delay it anymore. And after my experience the first-time ordering from them, plus finding out that they had books 4 and 5 of the series at the right price as well, I just went for it… again… in the same month!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
