If you took out the words grin, grinned, and grining, this book would be about half as thick as it is.

I have to admit, I haven’t read this book (I want to, but being a Uni student means no time or money for fun- I’ll wait for it to come to the library). I just wanted to say that I think this book has THE best cover art of any fantasy novel since… well, ever. Can I get a witness?!
Rating: 5 / 5
This was long, drawn out, and uninteresting. The characters aren’t involving, the action sequences are sadly lacking, and the setting is dull. I’m amazed so many on amazon rate this highly; there is so much other good fantasy out there, skip this one and go read something else.

That is as far as I got. I could not go any further. I kept asking myself what am I reading and why do a care. The characters hold little interest, and the style of writing nearly incoherent. Don’t believe the Publisher Weekly’s review, this book is nothing like the novels of George R R Martin.

I just finished my reading of “Gardens of the Moon”. I say my reading because I couldn’t get past the first 60-70 pages. But I’m done.
This book is incredibly dense, slow, and convoluted – yet not in a good way. I generally give books about 40 pages to interest me. I know of professional reviewers that do the same. I only read more than that because it had been compared to George R.R. Martin and he is among my favorite authors at present.
And just so that one doesn’t think that I’m too stupid to get into it: I read Tolkien in elementary school, Robert Jordan in middle school, and I am presently in law school. And yes, I find this book convoluted and dull in comparison to the readings I do for law school – at least in them I can usually figure out what’s going on.
