Deadhouse Gates by Steven Erikson | Malazan Review

To follow and support us, click here: http://anovelreviewpodcast.com   Steven Erikson’s Deadhouse Gates doesn’t so much invite you into its world as drag you behind a galloping horse and demand that you keep up. The second Malazan Book of the Fallen novel is bigger, darker and considerably less interested in holding your hand, throwing assassins, empires, gods, ancient grudges and one spectacularly brutal desert crossing into the same literary blender. Yet beneath all the bloodshed and battlefield chaos is something surprisingly human: a story about loyalty, suffering, vengeance and what people are willing to endure for one another. And just when you think you’ve figured out where Erikson is taking you, he cheerfully sets fire to the map.   Painting: Today I painted a crow against a red sun landscape   Some of the books and authors discussed in this episode include:   Deadhouse Gates by Steven Erikson Gardens of the Moon by Steven Erikson Memories of Ice by Steven Erikson Hannibal by Livy     Substack: https://substack.com/@alexanderwoolven Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRQzE_T2r6qPR_jbZNgZC1Q Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a-novel-review-podcast/id1681724908 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5uCgZyBj9T5uPQsfbqTUW5 Podbean: https://anovelreviewpodcast.podbean.com   Twitter: https://twitter.com/novelreviewpod Email: anovelreviewpodcast@gmail.com  IG: https://www.instagram.com/anovelreviewpod/  -------- #BookPodcast, #BookTube, #BookLovers, #ReadingCommunity, #LiteraryPodcast, #BooksAndSociety, #ReadingForChange, #LiteratureLovers, #ReadersOfYouTube, #PodcastEpisode, #SeasonalContent, #ThoughtfulReading, #BookDiscussion, #CulturalConversation
