Gardens of the Moon by Steven EriksonMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I have looked at this book for years.. but never quite gave it a chance.. Now, after finishing it I wonder why I waited so long.. Martin and Jordan have nothing on Erickson.. huge world building, a massive cast of characters, well drawn engaging protagonists and a history of his work that is staggering.
This is not a tra-la-la fiddle dee dee book. It’s dark and brutal and just plain awesome in so many ways. The magic systems rock and the dialogue just sings.
What happens when an empress is hell bent on conquering everything in her path and is willing to go to any lengths to do it.. ? It’s usually the everyday people who get crushed.. but they can also be heroes.
Just give it a go. You will be glad you did.
