nerual_ 's review for:

Gardens of the Moon by Steven Erikson
5.0
adventurous challenging dark slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

It took several attempts, but once it finally clicked, I was insatiable.

The characters spring to life through the pages, and whilst the plot starts at a plodding (yet confusing) pace, it picks up momentum and hurtles you along with it. I genuinely felt every emotion whilst reading it.

So excited for the rest of the series!

Pro tip: the index and glossary are your best friends.
