Summary
Random House presents the audiobook edition of Gardens Of The Moon: (Malazan Book Of The Fallen 1) by Steven Erikson, read by Ralph Lister.
Bled dry by interminable warfare, infighting and bloody confrontations with Lord Anomander Rake and his Tiste Andii, the vast, sprawling Malazan empire simmers with discontent.
Even its imperial legions yearn for some respite. For Sergeant Whiskeyjack and his Bridgeburners and for Tattersail, sole surviving sorceress of the Second Legion, the aftermath of the siege of Pale should have been a time to mourn the dead. But Darujhistan, last of the Free Cities of Genabackis, still holds out - and Empress Lasseen's ambition knows no bounds.
However, it seems the empire is not alone in this great game. Sinister forces gather as the gods themselves prepare to play their hand...
Conceived and written on an epic scale, Gardens of the Moon is a breathtaking achievement - a novel in which grand design, a dark and complex mythology, wild and wayward magic and a host of enduring characters combine with thrilling, powerful storytelling to resounding effect. Acclaimed by writers, critics and readers alike, here is the opening chapter in what has been hailed a landmark of epic fantasy: the awesome 'The Malazan Book of the Fallen'.

Amazing!
Loved it! Amazing work bringing those characters to life! It gave me a different perception of some of the characters, hearing a different voice each time!

The world building
not the easiest book to start with. The timeline can be brutal sometimes...but for the fantasy genre lovers...its like as vast as it gets.
one recommendation is to download the map and look at it as you listen...it makes the story so much more interesting

Couldn't get past the third chapter.
I was thrilled by the narrator's accent and all, but beyond that, just boring

Hard to get into
Confusing with the lack of elaboration on things. Great setting carried the story for me. Hopefully the next one is better.

Excellent book somewhat poorly narrated
Keep the Dramatis Personae from the paperback at hand so you can keep up.

Not for idle listening
It’s a great story and fantastic performance from the narrator. I would say that it’s not for idle listening, you do need to be paying attention. It’s worth it though

Good book but not suitable for audio book edition
Too many people with mostly unrelated stories (until the very end) with too similar names and too much detail to assimilate through audio the way the book is structured. Interesting but tiring
