You have to be the only person I've ever met who prefers Erikson's first book over the second. Legolas Send a noteboard - 21/12/2010 06:42:40 PM
Gardens of the Moon by Steven Erikson...Probably one of the most intense fantasies I've ever read. I like the plot, the many characters and the writing style. The second book was not nearly as good, yes I still enjoyed it, but it brought my rating of the series from about a nine to a six. the third book is redeeming it however.

The third book is fantastic and among my favourite ever fantasy books, but most people would rank The Deadhouse Gates not too far below. Interesting that you like it so much less than GotM... want to explain why?

I'll give you a top five. I only read about 25 books so the top 10 isn't necessarily "good". Tom - 20/12/2010 07:26:41 PM 788 Views
Let's see, this is an interesting exercise... Legolas - 20/12/2010 08:48:20 PM 1059 Views
I enjoyed Mahfouz, but I agree the translation wasn't stellar Tom - 20/12/2010 11:27:39 PM 667 Views
I read a Dutch translation, so presumably not the same one as yours. Legolas - 21/12/2010 06:38:29 PM 665 Views
Okay, have to add Yourcenar's Memoirs of Hadrian in there somewhere, see my review. *NM* Legolas - 29/12/2010 09:41:22 PM 317 Views
