DG is still one of my favorite fantasy books ever on its own.

Same here.  Chain of Dogs, son!

[Madness]

Lol. Indeed .

I think this thread is hilarious. Everyone noting when they dropped out.

I guess I'm the only one who dropped out halfway through through the third book then...

I thought the first two books were enjoyable, but the whole premise of having gods, Gods, elder gods, ascendants, lords, demons, demon lords, bonecasters and whatnot all with varying degrees of power seemed a bit silly tbh. It was also frustrating because every time I thought I learned who the final boss is going to be it turns there is oh a demon final boss on the next level who has ever more power than the last one. But despite that I soldiered on until at one point through the 3rd book where I said fuck it.

As someone who has finished the main series, your assessment is accurate. However, the "final bosses" are there all along; it's just that the whole book is from the perspective of know-nothing mortals, so the veil is pulled back at a snail's pace.

I read them all too.  Still waiting for my prize

There is some good stuff in there.  And a lot of indistiguishable characters, repetitive themes and re-used plot elements.  And his one on one combat scenes are largely rubbish.

THIS IS HOW I FELT!  I really had a problem keeping the characters names straight.  Have not had this problem elsewhere!

Have had GotM on the to-read list for some time now. Need to focus more on reading and less on being distracted by my gf watching TV.

Take every opportunity to turn off screens. Do it. And water .

By the way, kudos again to Cüréthañ and Meyna for being the only SAers posting here to have graduated Erikson.

[Kellais]

Wait what?! I have graduated Erikson as well  Still have a hard time trying to understand that one can not love this series if one loves Bakker...but i guess that is situated in the subjective problem we talked about elsewhere 

[Madness]

Lol... sorry Kellais.

My thanks, though it was no great task for me considering how easily I took to the series as a whole!

[Wilshire]

I took up the torch. Finished the first book and really enjoyed it, trying to find some time to read book 2. I'm  enjoying it so far, but I put it down a month ago and might have to start over if I don't get to it soon.

[Madness]

Deadhouse Gates is one of my all-time favorite fantasy books. Mostly because of Duiker.

[Wilshire]

Immediately amused that the apocalypse in DG is accompanied by whirlwinds.

[mrganondorf]

I liked Garden of the Moon but was bored to death with Deadhouse Gates.  What am I doing wrong?
