Deadhouse Gates by Steven Erikson
4.0
4/5*
Edit.
My most beloved book from the malazan series. Why? it has my favorite cast of characters starting from Heboric and ending with Duiker, each of them was perfect on their own, and while I didn't like Felisin I pitied her and found her hate towards her sister a great plot device, and with Baudin being her "talon" being the very last thing that her sister left to her was genius as later on Baudin dies or does he? (I read Memories of Ice). ANYWAY, enough about characters, let's talk about the plot, I 10/10 for the plot while I DO THINK something could have been less complex looking at your spirit walkers I think i just fell in love with the complexity of it BUT AS MUCH I LOVE THIS BOOK and if I reviewed with my own bias in mind it would be a 5/5 book but for others it mostly like will be a 4/5, reason being that in the middle it feels like its being dragged on for no apparent reason and also Duikers arc is really annoying in the start as you don't really get attached to him until the bitter end. Would I read this again? YES, I see Deadhouse gate as a standalone from my eyes as the only CHARACTERS that get introduced here all new besides a few.
