À propos de cet audio

Vast legions of gods, mages, humans, dragons and all manner of creatures play out the fate of the Malazan Empire in this first book in a major epic fantasy series

The Malazan Empire simmers with discontent, bled dry by interminable warfare, bitter infighting and bloody confrontations with the formidable Anomander Rake and his Tiste Andii, ancient and implacable sorcerers. Even the imperial legions, long inured to the bloodshed, yearn for some respite. Yet Empress Laseen's rule remains absolute, enforced by her dread Claw assassins.

For Sergeant Whiskeyjack and his squad of Bridgeburners, and for Tattersail, surviving cadre mage of the Second Legion, the aftermath of the siege of Pale should have been a time to mourn the many dead. But Darujhistan, last of the Free Cities of Genabackis, yet holds out. It is to this ancient citadel that Laseen turns her predatory gaze.

However, it would appear that the Empire is not alone in this great game. Sinister, shadowbound forces are gathering as the gods themselves prepare to play their hand....

Conceived and written on a panoramic scale, Gardens of the Moon is epic fantasy of the highest order - an enthralling adventure by an outstanding new voice.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Erikson is an extraordinary writer. My advice to anyone who might listen to me is, Treat yourself to Gardens of the Moon. And my entirely selfish advice to Steven Erikson is, write faster." --Stephen R. Donaldson

"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

"A world that is both absorbing on a human level and full of magical sublimity...a wonderfully grand conception...splendidly written...fiendishly readable." --Adam Roberts

The beginning of an odyssey

The narrator did a great job bringing the voices to life and making each one feel unique, deserving of such a great story.

Great story with an engaging narrator

The first half of this book is very confusing, like you're missing all the backstory. By the end though it is very great. Stick through it!

The narrator jumps between chapters too quick, mak8ng it tough to follow.

An ok start

amazing

A lot going on and it takes a bit longer than many books to understand who all the characters are as their backstories are brought out after meeting them. Amazing book once you know this and the characters are all extremely well done. Cropper is obviously my favorite and if he isn't yours then you may need to think about your life.

Cropper shares your thirst, for books and for wine

Found that some of the voices chosen didn’t well suit the characters however well read otherwise. Ericsson’s story and characters are spectacular and rich and the scope of the story has me almost painfully but delightfully engaged.

Love these books!

Loved every second. Can’t wait to listen to the next book. Character and world building at its best

This is a good story. Ralph Lister had some inconsistent voices, and also had some trouble creating differing voices over such a large cast, but he does a good job at reading it. Near the end chapters things got kind of confusing and I found myself listening to segments over and over again to discern what had actually happened. But overall this was a very enjoyable listen.

Good story

Nobody cares if a 34 hour audiobook takes 35 hours. Have pauses between different storylines. Even 2 seconds. When you are reading one characters storyline then, without even a breath in between, you start on a completely different storyline it just makes it confusing and frustrating. Story was decent though. Original.

Pretty confusing at first because of the reading

This was an enjoyable listen. The first third of the book was hard to follow as you engage with different characters along different paths. However, the last two thirds bring together these converging story lines and tie everything up in a nice bough.
The story is well written with compelling characters and mysteries you want to uncover. I had a hard time turning it off some evenings.
This is not a high fantasy of fun and adventure. It is darker, with intrigue and mystery.
