Jardins da Lua by Steven Erikson
4.0
3.5 stars
I'm writing this review, almost a year after finishing the book, because even though my rating isn't high this is probably one of my best experiences EVER reading a fantasy book.
And it can be a little contradictory when I say that I felt so DUMB while reading it. Honestly, I loved that Steven Erikson doesn't spoon-feed his readers AT ALL. Maybe that won me over, he made me work to get it. You know what I mean? So, if that's something that doesn't sound appealing to you... don't read this.
I felt lost at the story's beginning, but somewhere along the ride everything clicked into place in my brain and I fell in love. The world-building was fantastic, and the characters kept me invested until the end. I never felt a hint of disinterest while reading it, and even now after almost a year, I still think about it.
However, it's tough to get into it at first. And that made me critically lower my rating. The first 200 pages were definitely a challenge. Yet, I'm obsessed with it and want to keep reading the series.
