Gardens of the Moon Audiobook

" Confusing and amazing "

" Not your typically storyline starting from point A to Z. It starts at the middle of everything. A Challenging read because of this but very rewarding. "

" Really good book. It was a little tricky at first because there isn't much explanation of what is going on, but the author does a good enough job with the exposition to get the point across by the end. I actually liked it better than Game of Thrones (gasp). Looking forward to reading the rest of the series. "

" It has promise but was confusing and I felt like I was being lead by my nose down a blind alley of this world. "

" I've waited days to review this book, only to forget some of what I intended to write. I didn't find the story as badly edited as some have reviewed, but that could just me, a mere mortal believing it was good enough. I did have to go back to the player page often to see who was who's team--especially Whiskeyjack's and Buruk's. I am skipping to book 3 to stay within the Genebackis storyline. As in 1, 3, 2, 4, 5... "

" I don't think I am going to read any more of this series--I did not care for this book at all. "

" Good start to a series, didn't know it was going to be as long when i started but once in, your hooked! "

" no depth or growth of any characters. No real depth to the story line either. Everyone has powers and everyone is special. "

" Very hard to get into, but if you slog through until it starts to feel natural it is worth it. "

" Started slow, the first couple hundred pages had me asking myself why am I not putting it down. It finished strong though and has me thinking about starting book #2 "

" Good book, was really slow to start but characters and plots picked up as the book went on. If you can get through the first few chapters you will enjoy. "

" Absolutely loved this book. This is fantasy on an epic scale - great storyline, lots of interesting characters and I think this is going to become one of my favourite fantasy series. "

" Quite simply stunning and the start of an amazing epic that has me begging for the next book as finish each one. Gritty, full of anti-heroes and unique approach to magic. Surpasses every fantasy writer I've read - and there are many! "

" No hand holding in this book. Erickson expects you to keep up with the plot elements without spelling it out for you. Expansive world building and compelling if not fleshed out characters round out the experience. "

" This is precisely why I tend to avoid heroic fantasy - pompous, long-winded, multi-volume crap. It may well improve in subsequent volumes, but I'm not going to subject myself to it. "

" Wow, what a chore to read! I struggled to keep track of who was who but persisted in the hope that all would be revealed in the end. "

" Couldn't finish. :( "
