Reminiscent of Tolkein's Scope, Zelazny's Cleverness and Wit, and Donaldson's Brooding Atmospherics., Gripping, fast-moving, delightfully dark, with a masterful and unapologetic brutality reminiscent of George R. R. Martin. Steven Erikson brings a punchy, mesmerizing writing style into the genre of epic fantasy, making an indelible impression. Utterly engrossing., Such is the impact of the first book in Erikson's monumental Malazan saga, Gardens of the Moon , that the achievement of this sequel is doubly surprising. Not only is the vigour and sweep of the earlier book effortlessly captured, the complex plot is simultaneously deepened and accelerated, with a grasp of tempo that has the reader inexorably gripped . . . Roll on, book three!, Give me the evocation of a rich, complex and yet ultimately unknowable other world, with a compelling suggestion of intricate history and mythology and lore. Give me mystery amid the grand narrative. Give me a world in which every sea hides a crumbled Atlantis, every ruin has a tale to tell, every mattock blade is a silent legacy of struggles unknown. Give me, in other words, the fantasy work of Steven Erikson. Erikson is a master of lost and forgotten epochs, a weaver of ancient epics on a scale that would approach absurdity if it wasn't so much fun., Steven Erikson afflicts me with awe. Vast in scope, almost frighteningly fecund in imagination, and rich in sympathy, his work does something that only the rarest of books can manage: it alters the reader's perceptions of reality., "Give me the evocation of a rich, complex and yet ultimately unknowable other world, with a compelling suggestion of intricate history and mythology and lore.

Donaldson on Deadhouse Gates "I stand slack-jawed in awe of The Malazan Book of the Fallen. This masterwork of imagination may be the high water mark of epic fantasy. This marathon of ambition has a depth and breadth and sense of vast reaches of inimical time unlike anything else available today. The Black Company, Zelazny's Amber, Vance's Dying Earth, and other mighty drumbeats are but foreshadowings of this dark dragon's hoard."--Glen Cook on The Malazan Book of the Fallen "One of the best fantasy novels of the year."--SF Site on Deadhouse Gates "Rare is the writer who so fluidly combines a sense of mythic power and depth of world, with fully realized characters and thrilling action, but Steven Erikson manages it spectacularly.

Deadhouse Gates arrived swiftly, and the condition was as described in the listing/photo. I'm quite pleased with the condition of the book as it looks gently read and doesn't have any serious wear/tear (which it will probably get from me, haha). I would purchase from this seller again.

  • Even Better Than "Gardens of the Moon"!

    "Deadhouse Gates" is the second book in the Malazan Book of the Fallen, which will someday be recognized as one of the great fantasy epics. I have read dozens of fantasy series and hundreds fantasy titles from a wide variety of authors and only Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings" and King's "Dark Tower" series are in the same class with Erikson's works. Erikson's characters are well rounded and diverse. Even the minor characters are more than the cookie cutter heroes and villains that we come to expect from even the big names in fantasy. The plots contain numerous twists and turns and following numerous convergent storylines without leaving the reader feeling lost. Many books out there are well written, many others are entertaining, but few combine both qualities like this one. The more I read ...

  • This is an excellent read for fans of the series.

    Great value for a book. If you are fan of the series I'd continue the journey with this book.

  • A great book in an extraordinary fantasy series

    Great series -- I'm not done reading it yet but I loved Gardens of the Moon, and this story continues the fantasy goodness.
