Wtf

I would rather read a thesaurus than listen to this book. The voice actor is awesome trying to make this enough to keep my kids listening…. but one day he will reclaim the keystone. He will fix the wall. THE WALL. Their lights have Noooooo chance. Simpletons. Stop

Pedantic over redundant rerun of epic proportions.

Revisado: 09-08-19

It took until this book to close the one “cool” part of this world. The main character is an ass though the book then reforms him into a “god” through a redundant set of unfortunate impossible mishaps. The series of books starts off incredibly slow and cliched to continue over doing the same cliches and impossible foresight of each impossible character. The world is interesting but the character development is incredibly flawed. No one has the ability to say exactly what the other person says every single interaction. The caste system is incredibly flawed and the enemies horribly described. The likelihood of a first year student of a war college beating the veterans is laughable. The asinine conversation and debate between the characters is pedantic at best. To be fair I completed the book to see if there was any saving grace and the climax of the book and resulting ending did pick up in an interesting twist but that was only because Podehl is an awesome orator. This would have been better a single book.

When is the next book coming out

Revisado: 04-16-17

I do not give reviews. I am now compelled to do so out of loss as to I don't really know if I can look at another book in the same light as this one. I have seldom been moved enough to feel tears, anger, frustration, joy and I am not so patiently going to wait for the next book.

not a good audio book. too complex to listen to

What disappointed you about Gardens of the Moon?

You are thrown into the middle of a war without an explanation of who or what you are listening to. The places and names of the story are very foreign and I believe for someone familiar with this Genre and world could potentially be something fun to listen to but with a guide. Too many complex story lines and character developments take place all at once it would seem the writer expects fore knowledge of the entire world before you begin this world leaving someone brand new to the author nothing to reference. The voice actor does not make adequate pauses to signal one story line ending and another beginning as it would seem the book's structure is required to understand the plot as well

Would you ever listen to anything by Steven Erikson again?

Probably not as it just seems like this was written to debut a game or something requiring a lot of prior knowledge

What didn’t you like about Ralph Lister’s performance?

Too dry, not enough character presentation and separation. I could not pick out the character's prose based on voice completely confounding the already very complex story line

Any additional comments?

This book sounded like a lot of work, planning, and rewrites went into it and it might be a good book to read not to listen to
