A huge series and this is the first book in this. After reading this I feel very irritated. Mr Erickson tried his very best to make it a memorable book but he failed badly in doing so. It is not the foundation that I want from first book in an “Epic” series. It was worse than The Black Prism. Atleas...
There are no words. I just don’t have the words to describe this enough to get out a review. I don’t have the words to express my relationship with Gardens of the Moon. I am…my mind is BLOWN. It’s genius. It’s intimidating. The sheer scope of what was going on is amazing. There’s so much goi...
Repaso general de toda la saga en mi blog: Click aquíGardens of the Moon is the first book of a massive and really ambitious epic fantasy series created by Steven Erikson and Ian C. Esslemont. If you're going to start reading this series be warned that it's not an easy read, but if you endure you're...
I'm going to come right out and say it: I didn't find this a difficult read at all, and I loved every bit of it. I can certainly see why some people didn't like this. And I can clearly feel the influence of Glen Cook and the Black Company on it too. Since that's one of my favourite series, that's ...
A very very good High Fantasy novel with an innovative magic system. It was a bit hard to connect with some of the characters and story early on. At the midpoint the book really took off.
Whew! Third time lucky, finished it this time.Never before I have read book which is so incomprehensible and confusing and at the same time so engrossing. It took me about halfway through the book to get any foothold about the plot which by the way was slippery at best. Its like the author is giving...
Tough book to get into. At first I was tempted to just give up and put it down. There were a lot of characters and references to ancient races, gods, people and things I didn't understand. Although he provides a guide, who wants to read 5+ pages of a list of people, titles and places and a quick des...
I'm officially giving up on this book. When I've been two days without reading a book and haven't felt the desire to pick it up again, it's probably not worth it. I made it through about six chapters, and it seemed to be a whole lot of intrigue without much substance. Generally, authors keep readers...
I didn't fully appreciated what Steven Erikson was doing with this book and, in turn, the series until I read further into the second book, Deadhouse Gates. The depths and breadths of these stories are immense. I can't even fathom how much more there is of these worlds he's set up, and they're only ...
Let me state right at the beginning that I am typically not a fan of fiction series. Too often, I have begun a series or made my way through the first two books in a series only to find that the writer ran out of steam (and new ideas) somewhere along the way. Being a writer, I understand this. Susta...
