Summary
The second novel in the awe-inspiring Malazan Book of the Fallen series. 'Gripping, fast-moving, delightfully dark, with a masterful and unapologetic brutality reminiscent of George R. R. Martin.' — Elizabeth Haydon

In the vast dominion of Seven Cities, in the Holy Desert Raraku, the seer Sha'ik and her followers prepare for the long-prophesied uprising known as the Whirlwind. Unprecedented in size and savagery, this maelstrom of fanaticism and bloodlust will embroil the Malazan Empire in one of the bloodiest conflicts it has ever known, shaping destinies and giving birth to legends . . .

Set in a brilliantly realized world ravaged by dark, uncontrollable magic, Deadhouse Gates is a novel of war, intrigue and betrayal confirms Steven Eirkson as a storyteller of breathtaking skill, imagination and originality—a new master of epic fantasy.

Absolutely brilliant. Deadhouse Gates has done a far better job at keeping my interest in comparison with book 1, with the faster plot progression. Be warned though, Deadhouse Gates makes for a very gruesome story. Descriptions of warfare are detailed.

Far to many characters and Zero character development. Most detail was pointless and death of characters served no story intent. I'm clearly not a fan of the writing style

I very much wanted to like this series... but the hundreds of vague descriptions of forgettable characters paired with multiple storylines jumping back and forth is too tedious to follow. The magic was never even briefly explained, and some of the creatures seem like they could be interesting but weren't given much thought. The narrator does an amazing job of trying to bring these characters to life tho

Both the writing and narration were very good. I've moved on to the sequels.

While it takes a few chapters to pick up its momentum, 'Deadhouse Gates' quickly becomes a masterpiece of narrative and atmosphere. I don't think I will ever forget the Chain of Dogs and the journey of the 7th army.
