Series: The Malazan Book of the Fallen #2 I'm invoking the "Life is too short and I have too many better books to read" clause. I really wasn't a fan of Gardens of the Moon, the first book in the series, but I kept hearing from my friends that the first book isn't actually all that good and that...
The Deadhouse Gates is an interesting book and one that is quite the dichotomy. The chain of dogs story as well as Felisin's arc was a tough slog. Then you get gem arcs revolving around two very old and odd travellers as well as a few known characters in Kalam, Apsalar, Fidd and Crokus. So please ta...
I see now that the unnamed soldier is a gift. The named soldier –dead, melted wax –demands a response among the living ... a response no-one can make. Names are no comfort, they're a call to answer the unanswerable. Why did she die, not him? Why do the survivors remain anonymous –as if cursed –while...
The “Malazan Book of the Fallen” is considered as the most dark fantasy by many, thats the one reason that I didn’t dumped it after reading Gardens of the Moon. I really want to know and explore the complex world that Erikson has created in this epic series or atleast get to know why it is tagged as...
Short review, because, super busy. Super short summary: Two young girls are being pushed by forces outside their control, to very different destinies although both end up in the holy desert Raraku. And Raraku is also the source of an uprising against the Malazan Empire, leading to a desperate cha...
I was a little apprehensive when I saw the Dramatis Personae for this book. No way I was going to put myself through that again. But clearly my fears were unfounded. I don't know whether I got used to Erikson's style or this was a lot more accessible than the previous book or maybe little bit of bot...
Originally 3 stars, but then that thing happened to Coltaine... [spoiler] Coltaine's death happened and the fourth star is for him. RIP the last of the wickan crow clan. [/spoiler] If you're looking for a way to get into this series and the first book Gardens of the Moon is just too much of a chao...
Glorious epic fantasy, this book does it all. I wept openly, laughed aloud, in short I gave myself up completely to Erikson's creation. The tale of Coltaine and the Chain of Dogs, the terrible consequences of complete civil breakdown, it all is perfectly realised in every way. From the grand sweep o...
Like Gardens of the Moon, Deadhouse Gates is the type of book that you have to invest a lot of time into. At around 300+ pages longer than the average fantasy book, I struggled with the length and at around 600 pages I started to wonder if Erikson even has an editor. I also struggled with connecting...
