Explanation During Books Gardens of the Moon (Malazan Book of the Fallen #1)
The Malazan Empire simmers with discontent, bled dry by interminable warfare, bitter infighting and bloody confrontations with the formidable Anomander Rake and his Tiste Andii, ancient and implacable sorcerers. Even the imperial legions, long inured to the bloodshed, yearn for some respite. Yet Empress Laseen's rule remains absolute, enforced by her dread Claw assassins.For Sergeant Whiskeyjack and his squad of Bridgeburners, and for Tattersail, surviving cadre mage of the Second Legion, the aftermath of the siege of Pale should have been a time to mourn the many dead. But Darujhistan, last of the Free Cities of Genabackis, yet holds out. It is to this ancient citadel that Laseen turns her predatory gaze.
However, it would appear that the Empire is not alone in this great game. Sinister, shadowbound forces are gathering as the gods themselves prepare to play their hand...
Conceived and written on a panoramic scale, Gardens of the Moon is epic fantasy of the highest order--an enthralling adventure by an outstanding new voice.

OMG! (Bloody Hell if I dont finish this series!!)I loved this book soooo much!! "Anomander Rake, Lord of the Tiste Andii, who are the souls of Starless Night. Rake, the Mane of Chaos. Thats who the Moons lord is, and youre pitting four High Mages and a single cadre against him." There are things I don't understand but I have some lovely Goodreads friends I can go to if I need answers. Also, this is a series I will be able to read over and over and find new tidbits! And, I did understand thei feel like i'm being pretty generous in giving this 3 stars. okay, it is my good deed for 2011. now don't say i never did nuthin' for you, steven erikson!the cons: so much, where do i even start. (1) the dialogue is a joke, a sad flailing uncomfortable joke, the kind that just goes on and on and i start to look away from the joke teller in embarrassment. corny corn, beyond belief. (2) and the characterizations - so flat! so trite. and when they weren't trite - just entirely unrealistic. there
Chapter 24: I am finished. On many levels.*Chapter 23: I wish to say I understand everything. Alas, I do not. Chapter 22: The most amazing thing about this novel is not the fact that it gives you the whole galaxies of protagonists and plotlines. The whole genius that has shaken so many readers with tremors of awe (count me in!) lies in how masterfully each of those shining stars is connected with the others and in how many minuscule surfaces of seemingly random details this is reflected. Chapter
A unique series with the only flaw of being so complex that one really gets into flow in the second and third parts when the scenery is unfolding. Before, its close to a bit of work to get into this colossal epos. The best example for this is the rating, that gets amazingly high after the first part.I am still very vividly remembering reading the first novel and permanently trying to internalize the plot, constellations, and context, something I automated to recall elements of books for a longer
Gardens of the Moon is the first in Steven Erikson's gargantuan and oddly named fantasy series, Malazan Book of the Fallen. What's odd about it is that it took me THREE tries to get through this first volume. The first two times I tried, I got one or two hundred pages in and just lost interest, mainly because I was confused and didn't know what was going on. But the third time I tried it just clicked and I enjoyed it. Figuring out why this is the case took some thought, and I believe it boils
full review now up5/5 Buddy read with my soul sister and my pals at BB&B Ambition is not a dirty word. Piss on compromise. Go for the throat. So I have stared at my phone screen for approx 96 hours trying to think of a review for this and I'm still left speechless, so I have vomited up some words for y'all to enjoy, if you want a proper review check Eriksons GR page there's only 3,000 of them... Too many regrets. Lost chancesand with each one passing the less human we all became, and
Now THIS is what I call a pleasant surprise. Im very tempted to jump right onto book two butFirst order of business: recharge brain battery. ~~~~~~~~~<<<<<<~~~~~~<<<<<<~~~~~Lets... DO THIS!
