Gardens of the Moon

My thoughts are pretty divided on this one.

Pros: Gods all over the place actively making appearances, totally epic in scope, interesting magic system, some philosophical nuggets of wisdom, and the Bridgeburners

Cons: Some occasional clunky prose, never truly getting inside characters' heads, oddly withholding information for the sake of drama, failing to give a reason to care for several hundred pages

Overall I ended up liking this quite a bit, but I probably would've DNF'd without all the praise the series gets.
