Mark Peterson and 2 other people liked Kay Kenyon's review of Gardens of the Moon (Malazan Book of the Fallen, #1): "I admired the mastery of the language, but it was just too dark and dense for me to remain with it. So many characters, it was difficult for me to feel anchored in the story. I've heard so much about this series, that I think I'll have to try again. "
