Deadhouse Gates


Deadhouse Gates by Steven Erikson, 843 pages

This is the second book in the Malazan Book of the Fallen series. This book happens concurrently with Memories of Ice though you wouldn’t know that until you read it. I decided that that is not a spoiler as it may prompt people to research the chronological order of the books before reading them. I don’t know if it would have changed my reading of them or not.

Anyways Deadhouse Gates only follows two members of the Bridgeburners from the previous book. They have split away from the group to try and accomplish a world changing mission. Though they don’t know it they are headed into an area that is ripe for rebellion. We also meet some new and interesting characters that give us even more to keep track of.

This series reads much like a Lord of the Rings novel but with the hopping from character to character that you see in the Song of Ice and Fire series. So if you like those kind of worldwide epics than you should try reading this series.
