This is pretty much all I can say about the actual main plot without spoiling anything. After laying siege to Pale, she set her gaze upon Darujhistan, the last Free Cities of Genebackis. Empress Laseen rules the Malazan Empire with an iron fist. Gardens of the Moon is the first book in Steven Erikson’s Malazan Book of the Fallen series. Did the first book live up to the expectation though? The masterpiece quality aspect remains to be seen but the scope truly lived up to it, especially remembering that Gardens of the Moon is just the introduction to the series. It’s safe to say that my expectations for this series are unreasonably huge, and no, I don’t plan to change that for many personal reasons. I told my girlfriend I will propose to her only after I finished Malazan Book of the Fallen she has agreed to it and so here we are. Despite hearing amazing things about the quality of the series, it required me a promise to finally plunge myself into starting this grand tale. I’ve heard countless amazing things about the series, but the sizes, the fame of the complexities, the need for extra focus, the commitment, and the elitist jerks of the series have made me postpone starting it for a long time. Malazan Book of the Fallen has been in my TBR pile for one year seven months now. This is my first review for Steven Erikson’s highly acclaimed epic fantasy series: Malazan Book of the Fallen.
