Deadhouse Gates
by Steven Erikson
MALAZAN PROJECT 2020 #2
Probably better than the first book, but in some ways not as enjoyable. The book feels much darker. There are no characters like Kruppe to provide comic moments, for example. Closest would be the High Priest, but he's clearly cleverer than he lets on and more than a little mad.
Still, the writing was better, and the stories generally more unique - Felisin is such an interesting character, by comparison illustrating the problems I have with GoT and it's use of sex in relation to it's women. The end of Kalam's plotline in this book is haunting and seems to hold fascinating implications for the rest of the series. Will have to wait and see on that.
Onward to Memories of Ice and a return to the Bridgeburners.
