Deadhouse Gates is able to rely on past knowledge expounded on in Gardens of the Moon it is able to more deeply delve into character motivations and the greater conflict enveloping the world of Malazan making for a compelling and interesting read.
Erikson's work with theme in this book is near unparalleled and he sets up so many incredible but heart-wrenching moments.
In general, reading Erikson is like receiving a punch in the gut. It knocks the air out of you but makes you realize the beauty of being able to breathe.
