Gardens of the Moon is like trying to talk to a fluent Arab after only having been given a beginners Arabic handbook, and never having seen it before prior
Deadhouse Gates gets better, but still feels clunky as fuck, looking forward to reading House of Chains though
Memories of Ice is fucking dope so far, I'm about halfway through now

The ending of Memories of Ice is when I decided it was far and away the greatest fantasy series I've ever read. It only gets better as it goes, too.

>> No.10299446

>It's not a critically acclaimed treatise on the very pillars of the human condition so it's shit.

If you can't tell by the cover art whether or not this is a book for you, I have terrible news for you.

Just started Gardens of the Moon earlier this week. I'm enjoying it so far.

Does this series have a satisfying conclusion? One that makes the investment all worthwhile? (i.e the antithesis of LOST)

>> No.10299476

>>10299469
i'm the guy halfway through Memories
by the time you get to Memories, you won't even care about looking to the end anymore, you'll just be so stoked at the mere title of the last book and you'll want nothing more than to press on blindly

Yeah. This.

After reading Deadhouse I considered stopping altogether, because I couldn't believe that he could do anything better than Coltain's March.(seriously that shit is like the Anabasis on drugs).That story line is like essence of what fantasy heroism is.

>>10299469
It does. If you can get with the program - meaning you enjoy it till the end of Deadhouse Gates- you will be hooked till the end. But even if you don't like the ending you will enjoy the hell out of it.

Esslemonts renditions are far superior. If you've read HoC go read Night of Knives asap its great.

No, the book is great until the first third is over and then chapters paraphrase themselves and the third book has Marvel illustrations.

Do the covers mirror the content? are there giant dogs? is there some supersayan mary stu that fights a quadriplegic god?

If the world is currently on fire, then it stands to reason that ice would only exist in memories. Better luck next time, brainlet.
