Been working my way through the Malazan books again (1, 3, 2, 4) and so far House of Chains (4) could possibly be a starting point. The character knows little of the rest of the world and the action is in parallel to the first three. I’m not even certain how it connects together with the overall take yet.
I do plan on reading book 6 before 5, since I know that one takes place before any of them.
