Deadhouse Gates (Malazan Book of the Fallen) by Steven Erikson

Goodreads

Pages: 932

Publication Date: February 1st, 2005

Genre: Fantasy (grimdark/epic)

This continues what happens in Gardens of the Moon with a tighter cast and on another continent. They are preparing for a violent war.

This book was way better than the 1st. It was more tightly written, wasn't as confusing for the sake of being confusing. The characters were the more compelling from the 1st one and it made a much more interesting read. The plot line itself felt a lot better. It really made sense why people say to read the first two books.

4/5

This book is worth forcing yourself to read the first one. It's really good and it's a lot darker than the first one. It makes sense why this book is considered such an important series within fantasy.

Cheers,

Jen
