Deadhouse Gates by Steven Erikson
5.0
Teetering between a 4 and 5 star. The first half is pretty slow, and it took a while for me to get interested (same as with Gardens of the Moon) but damn does the second half PICK. UP. (Same with GOTM).
Objectively DG is better presented, it feels more like a book, and Erikson's prose has greatly improved.
I love his characterization here. There isn't much development, however the characters are so well defined to show that they are the right person to combat what comes their way. It's magnificent.
Mappo and Icarium... my heart <3
Coltaine is my favorite character here. On par with Rake from GOTM.
