ethanlj 's review for:
Deadhouse Gates
by Steven Erikson
I wanted to like this book. Erikson's world-building is so deep. Like the first book he just builds and builds and builds. But in his first one, the payoff lasted longer (several hundred pages) and was more satisfying. I struggled to even finish it. And I've read that all his books follow this formula: a new place you've never seen, mostly new faces you've never seen, and a whole new history & culture. The guy can create worlds, but his writing style didn't do it for me here. Too bad.
