About halfway through the Malazan Book of the Fallen series by Steven Erickson. It's alright, though cringe-worthy whenever Erickson strays into romance of any sorts. The only other downside is the huge cast of characters. I tend to enjoy one group (basically, everyone associated with the Malazan Empire), while not caring much for everyone else, which has made a few of the books a bit exhausting to finish, as Erickson seems to want to try to tell this epic story through as many possible character point of views as possible, with a few books so far containing not a single character I liked.
Overall, as I said, it's alright. Probably a little better than alright. So far.
