Welcome to a land of magic and gods that sometimes walk among humans, at the very least they spend a bunch of energy influencing human affairs to their liking. We start by joining the Malazan Empire’s forces as they are decimated in at the city of Pale by the Moon King, but we quickly learn that not every enemy is an enemy, and many of the powerful friends we thought we had are in fact trying to kill us.
Gardens of the Moon was an excellent fantasy read in a series I had never heard of before. If you’ve enjoyed Brandon Sanderson’s books or Wheel of Time, this series is likely up your alley. I’m looking forward to reading the next instalments.
