	Ultraverse E-Zine of Science Fiction and Fantasy: Gardens of the Moon (Book Review)
		Gardens of the Moon was released in the U.S. earlier this year - it's first appearance in hardcover on these shores - under the Tor publishing imprint.
		Gardens of the Moon is such an expansive and multifaceted work that no synopsis can do it justice, but here's a cursory overview nonetheless.
		Erikson has stated that one of his goals in writing Gardens of the Moon - and presumably in subsequent volumes - was to put to the sword some conventions of the fantasy genre, particularly when it comes to drawing characters in well-defined shades of either fl or white.

	Malazan Book of the Fallen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Erikson wrote Gardens of the Moon as a novel in the period 1991-92 but it was not published until 1999.

	Amazon.co.uk: Gardens of the Moon (Malazan Book of the Fallen): Books (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		Gardens of the Moon concerns the military campaign by the Malazan Empire to capture the last remaining Free City on the Gernsbackian continent.
		The moon of the title is a wonderfully grand conception, a sort of floating mountain that moves through the skies of the war-striken continent, and is the home of the 'Son of Darkness'.
		My advice would be to read gardens of the moon, deadhouse gates and memories of ice and then re-read gardens of the moon, it becomes a far better book and you see how he builds the story and sets the scene for later books.

		Gardens of the Moon is the first volume in a planned ten book cycle entitled 'The Malazan Book of the Fallen' written by Canadian author Steven Erikson.
		Gardens of the Moon is epic both in its planned bulk and scope, and one doesn’t have to read too far into the novel to realize Erikson is not settling for offering a series intent on rehashing traditional ideas.
		In my opinion, when reading Gardens of the Moon, the impressions I get are of an Epic Fantasy series, that is embracing Sword/Sorcery elements without feeling the need to to not take itself seriously because of their inclusion, a practice that contemoprary sword/sorcery practioners seem to feel is synoymous with the sub-genre.

	EriksonQA
		It is my pleasure to present to you Gardens of the Moon by Steven Erikson, the first volume in The Malazan Book of the Fallen.
		The scope and breadth of Gardens of the Moon is so truly epic as to be unrivaled in the fantasy field today, and its tone is dark and powerful.
		Naturally, Gardens of the Moon sort of broke that rule, since there's no real beginning (oops); and I suppose in a way with Book Ten, there'll be no 'end' either, since life goes on (for whomever is left living, that is).

	ITALICS: review>gardens of the moon
		Gardens of the Moon brings with it a complexity uncommon to most works of Fantasy and is certainly a cut above the many trite offerings that are out there.
		And while it may be nitpicking to single out one act of divine intervention in a universe where gods regularly interfere in mortal lives in pursuit of their own ends, I found this one just a bit too far afield and convenient to the resolution of the plot.
		This notwithstanding, Gardens of the Moon is probably one of the most compelling books to come down the pike in a long while.

		Plot in brief: Gardens of the Moon follows the events of the faltering Malazan Empire's covert campaign in the city of Darujhistan — events which reveal conspiracy, betrayal, and the unfathomable but fatal games of the gods themselves.
		Gardens of the Moon (hereafter GotM) deserves the title of "epic" fantasy in every sense of the word.
		GotM functions at least partially as a set-up for larger stories — or, to be precise, at least ten contracted novels.

		Gardens is the first in the series of volumes, subtitled: Tales of the Malazan Book of the Fallen.
		An indication of how confused I was with Gardens of the Moon is that I have no recollection of Ganoes Paran even being in the book, let alone being a main character......the only characters I remembered as being important were Apsalar, Fiddler, Whiskeyjack, Tattersail, and of course the mysterious and very cool Anomander Rake.

	RPGnet: Review of Gardens of the Moon
		Steven Erikson's Gardens of the Moon -- the first in the Tales of the Malazan Book of the Fallen series -- has completely enthralled me. Erikson has created believable characters with believable motivations, placed them in a believable setting, populated it with fascinating beings, cultures, and magic.
		In other words, as important as magic is to the story of Gardens of the Moon, a campaign set in that world should probably downplay the overt effects of magic while playing up the importance of unseen and incomprehensible forces at work.
		Gardens of the Moon is an excellent fantasy novel and a great start to a series.

	Doing Something Different:A Weblog by Doug Miller (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		Steven Erikson's The Gardens of the Moon is the first book in what appears to be a ten book epic entitled The Malazan Book of the Fallen.
		The Gardens of the Moon certainly isn't on par with Perdido Street Station or His Dark Materials, but it's definitely something new and different, somewhat in the vein of Cook's early Black Company novels.
		The Gardens of the Moon is a good read if you're looking for something a little different in your fantasy reading, and have the patience to wait for the story to really develop.

	Steven Erikson: Gardens of the Moon - a review
		Gardens of the Moon is by no means an instant classic but in it Erikson shows a lot of promise, enough insight and compelling detail to make me wonder, what will he do in parts two and three?
		Gardens of the Moon is set on the subcontinent of Genabackis, following the exploits of a squad of soldiers whose loyalty is undermined by the manipulation of their superiors, thrown into a succession of dangerous and ultimately fairly pointless covert operations in an attempt to overthrow the last of the Free Cities.
		There must be a strong possibility that Gardens of the Moon will have prequels as well as sequels, at some stage.

	The Harrow: Review: Gardens of the Moon
		A scruffy group of hard-bitten, hard-assed soldiers and mages working for a powerful woman whose name is nearly synonymous with evil are starting to rethink their loyalties in the midst of a brutal war on the edge of nowhere.
		Though Gardens of the Moon clearly pays homage to some of the greats in the genre, it’s still a skillfully woven, complex story for fantasy afficionados who like their wars bloody, their magic fl, their heroes dark and their politics double-crossed.
		Each is meant to stand alone, and Gardens of the Moon does that fairly well, although by the last page it's as plain as a dragon at a dinner party that the story ain't even close to over yet.

	Gardens of the Moon - sffworld.com
		Gardens of the Moon, is a confusing story.
		It is way faster-paced than GOTM, tons of stuff going on including a full-bore brutal military campaign, and there is somewhat less of the constant supernatural intervention which was running all through GOTM (although there's still a fair bit of this stuff, particularly involving the T'lan Imass, which was a little confusing).
		GotM is one of those rare nowdays fantasy books, that demand of the reader to use his/her brain, rather than giving everything in a plater.

		His first volume, "Gardens of the Moon: A Tale of the Malazan Book of the Fallen", manages to confirm the notion that this is a highly interesting author whose further volumes will surely be anticipated with eagerness.
		"Gardens of the Moon", although inevitably not entirely free of the usual fantasy fiction cliches (including demons, dragons, magic, a mediaeval setting with swords'n'stuff), is a refreshing read.
		"Gardens of the Moon" isn't just another tale, it's a riveting read that will draw you in.

		The Gardens of the Moon is an unconventional epic fantasy in many ways, but perhaps we should look first at the ways in which it is like much conventional epic fantasy.
		The book is but one part of the large story of the rise and fall of the Malazan Empire, which has come over the sea to conquer the Genabackis peninsula-continent.
		The Gardens of the Moon, however, is worth the effort.

	Koi, Fish Ponds, Water Gardens and the Moon, by Brett Fogle
		A nearby castle was built with a water garden but the building was abandoned when an earthquake hit a few thousands of years ago.
		I am telling this because it seems strange when we hear of ancient Japanese water gardening beliefs stating that the full moon is the best time for breeding koi or other water garden pond fish.
		Now these same fish, a few generations removed, are in our water garden, making it a spectacle for everyone to see, and these fish bring with them their set of beliefs and feelings which we like to call "instincts".
