in the meantime I dropped everything I was reading, trying to pick up a somewhat regular reading habit, and going back to Erikson. Again Forge of Darkness reread, restarting at arbitrary point at page 150. Up to 170 now.

20 impeccable pages, every time I go back to this book I'm amazed. It's the most mature and heartfelt, by far Erikson's best. My plan now is to read this to the end, then straight into Fall of Light. No commentary. I just read and shut the fuck up.

also, I do understand why it's a book that other readers didn't like. In 20 pages there are 9 different PoVs, each with its inner guarded world. The prose is dense and the writing is what I like the most.
