I just finished this book, literally minutes ago. My thoughts on it are still swimming around. Overall, I have to say it was really well-crafted. Parts of it were really tragic, which was the point. Most of the character arcs had endings I really didn't see coming, except for Felisin. I predict...

Surprisingly ... I found this book good. Great, even. I thought it was just going to be one of those angel-devil kind of book (and technically it really is that) but it turned out a lot better than I expected. There's too many fantasy novels now about angels but this one? Wow ... just ... wow! I hav...

I always seem to be right in the middle with these novels. There's some things I hate and some things I like, and although I don't love them I still want to push forward through the series.First I'll start off with things I enjoyed about this book. Erikson's world is large and detailed, complete wit...

It's been said that if you're going to read this series, this is the book you should start with, which does nothing to endear Brandon Sanderson to me.

The second volume in this epic goes on much in the manner of the first. It's not bad, but again, it just didn't grip me emotionally.

The whole book is an alternation between the events on different places and with different characters that are happening simutaneously, but are being affected by each other. It's amazing how complex the storyline gets and how the characters are developed! I loved this book!! Can't wait to read the n...

This was an excellent read but I found it much harder than Gardens of the Moon. I didn't think it was going to be possible to write an even more dense plot, but Erikson did, oh boy, did he ever. I won't even attempt a summary here. Just some points that stuck with me the most:I still love the world-...

I really enjoyed Deadhouse Gates even though at times it was a little slow. It, along with the third book, Memories of Ice, serve as a great bridge into the later books. I highly recommend it
