steven erikson gardens of the moon series

(Without counting Esslemont’s contributions!) Why haven’t I spent my time in this world until now?Īdoration – I will devour the rest of this series because it’s already one of my favorite worlds, even though I’ve read 1/10th of it. We all know I’m going to end up reading this so just start it already.Īmazement – This book is incredible. Interest – Oh man, this world sounds so interesting…maybe I’ll just read the first one… I feel like I’m missing out.Īcceptance – Look. Am I really going to be the only one who hasn’t? I don’t have the time or energy for that.Įnvy – All of my friends are reading or have already read this. The reviews are so polarising.įear – So many people talk about how difficult this series is. Skepticism – Surely I’d fall on the side of those who didn’t like this. I call these the Seven Steps of the Seven Cities (Made this all up on the spot actually cause I don’t like to prepare or plan for things.)

I began my journey into the Malazan series in a similar manner that I’m sure some others have. I now know another level that I hope to achieve and as my friend stated recently, I may have to rethink my rating system for other books.

The tapestry weaved by Erikson is something I am both amazed by as a reader and envious of as a writer. Gardens of the Moon, The first entry in the Malazan Book of the Fallen series is best described as a convergence. There will be spoilers in the section that discusses characters – so please tread lightly! 9.5/10 – Review by Holden R Johnson (The Red Heir)
