„Über diesen Titel“ kann sich auf eine andere Ausgabe dieses Titels beziehen. Steven Erikson brings a punchy, mesmerizing writing style into the genre of epic fantasy, making an indelible impression. "Gripping, fast-moving, delightfully dark, with a masterful and unapologetic brutality reminiscent of George R. The Malazan Empire is a continent-spanning dominion over which the ruthless Empress Laseen holds sway, her rule enforced by the Claws, the Imperial assassins. "Rare is the writer who so fluidly combines a sense of mythic power and depth of world with fully realized characters and thrilling action, but Steven Erikson manages it spectacularly." "Complex, challenging.Erikson's strengths are his grown-up characters and his ability to create a world every bit as intricate and messy as our own."-J. 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 This marathon of ambition has a depth and breadth and sense of vast reaches of inimical time unlike anything else available today. This masterwork of imagination may be the high water mark of epic fantasy-accomplished with none of the customary rifs on Tolkien. "I stand slack-jawed in awe of The Malazan Book of the Fallen. has the potential to become known as a defining work in Fantasy." -SF Site And my entirely selfish advice to Steven Erikson is, write faster."-Stephen R.
My advice to anyone who might listen to me is, Treat yourself to Gardens of the Moon. And now that I have read it, I would be hard pressed to decide what I enjoyed more: the richly and ominously magical world of Malaz and Genabackis the large cast of sympathetically-rendered characters or the way the story accumulates to a climax that hits like machinegun fire. I read Gardens of the Moon with great pleasure. "Steven Erikson is an extraordinary writer.
