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.
