About this listen
Random House presents the audiobook edition of Deadhouse Gates: Malazan Book of the Fallen 2 by Steven Erikson, read by Ralph Lister.
Weakened by events in Darujhistan, the Malazan Empire teeters on the brink of anarchy. In the vast dominion of Seven Cities, in the Holy Desert Raraku, the seer Sha'ik gathers an army around her in preparation for the long-prophesied uprising named the Whirlwind. Unprecedented in its size and savagery, it will embroil in one of the bloodiest conflicts it has ever known: a maelstrom of fanaticism and bloodlust that will shape destinies and give birth to legends...
In the Otataral mines, Felisin, youngest daughter of the disgraced House of Paran, dreams of revenge against the sister who sentenced her to a life of slavery. Escape leads her to raraku, where her soul will be reborn and her future made clear. The now-outlawed Bridgeburners, Fiddler and the assassin Kalam, have vowed to return the once god-possessed Apsalar to her homeland, and to confront and kill the Empress Laseen, but events will overtake them too. Meanwhile, Coltaine, the charismatic commander of the Malaz 7th Army, will lead his battered, war-weary troops in a last, valient running battle to save the lives of thirty thousand refugees and, in so doing, secure an illustrious place in the Empire's chequered history. And into this blighted land come two ancient wanderers, Mappo and his half-Jaghut companion Icarium, bearers of a devastating secret that threatens to break free of its chains...
Set in a brilliantly-realized world ravaged by anarchy and dark, uncontrollable magic, Deadhouse Gates is the thrilling, brutal second chapter in the Malazan Book of the Fallen. A powerful novel of war, intrigue and betrayal, it confirms Steven Erikson as a storyteller of breathtaking skill, imagination and originality - a new master of epic fantasy.

more complete and easier to understand
The second book of the nalazan book of the fallen series is a much easier read compared to the first book. It has a better pacing and does not throw in as many obscure references. It follows different groups of persons of differing scales and importance. A very interesting read. Narrator did an excellent job.

Too much magic
Pros
Beautifully written with some excellent characters.
Cons
-too much magic. It should season and spice a story, not dominate.
-tried to cover too many aspects of this world. There seemed a need to give life to every thought and sidetale. Would have benefited from a more ruthless editor.

Good, better as second read.
This is a fantastic Fantasy world. Erikson has a lot of characters with a plot that ends up converging. Fun and epic and funny at the same time

Devastatingly Beautiful
I thought I was prepared for this experience as I have already travelled it's roads. But knowing where the journey was taking me did not lessen the impact. It in fact strengthened the feeling of helplessness I felt for the characters. My heart weeps.

What a Story
I loved this book as much as the first. The characters are so wonderfully drawn, the landscape so detailed and vibrantly written whilst the story moves on at a steady pace, beautifully written, wonderfully imaginative and wholly enjoyable. Stephen’s style and language skills are not to be underestimated truly a fantastic book. Narration was also excellent and I can’t wait to start book 3 in about 2 minutes. Well worth purchasing!

An unraveling of the sword, sorcery and sandal...
Loved it. Complicated by the same jargon and [a new] mass of characters as the first installment, book 2 proves to slowly unveil the world in splendid fashion. The parade marches on and Erikson and the narrator serve the audience justice after justice. Highly recommended for those searching for an involved story and stimulating prose amongst a developed fictional world.

These are a lot
I get a bit lost if I’m not paying close attention. This had me tear up at one point, good writing.
