Gardens of the Moon - no spoilers-

[Duke]

I've just finished chapter one! I really love this book. Someone on Reddit directed me to this website. I'm want to learn the details of what I'm reading as I'm reading it. Here is the catch, NO SPOILERS, please.

I have never read a book quite like this and I'm rather intrigued. I would recommend this book to others as well.

Also, to what is the title referencing? I haven't quite figured that out yet.

Wow good question, I read the serie so far as tom 7 but I will have to go back as I lost a lot waiting for each tom to go out. And reading somthing with more than 1000 pages takes time.

Never though about the title. Anyone any insight?

This is a very complicated serie so every details has it;s importance, and in tom X you can find a reference to somthing from the first one so be ready for surpsies.

It will probably a motivation to go back and read it till the end and also go to the Esselmnont stories in this world.

We have detailed chapter discussions from a few years ago, and all of the spoilers from each chapter are safely behind spoiler tags.

I will warn that the spoiler tags will contain series spoilers, not just book spoilers, so you want to avoid them completely until you finish the series rather than the book. Otherwise you should be safe to jump in there.

Regarding the title of the novel, I think it has to do with Moon's Spawn. At the beggining, Moon's Spawn floats over Pale, then it moves to another city. Both places are sceneries from the novel, and we could see them as the "gardens" of the Moon.

Hope you are enjoying the reading!

Wow, that seems a very promising channel! Thanks for calling my attention to it, I'll definitely watch the chapter videos as I progress with the book.

Regarding the title of the book:

At the end of chapter 19, Apsalar tells Crokus a story about a series of underwater gardens kept by a god inside the moon's largest ocean. She also mentions a sort of prophecy in which said god would come down to the earth and take the worthy people back with him to live in the gardens. The paralelism with the biblical judgement day is quite obvious.

I also like Luiz Fernando's take on the matter, and I think both were in SE's mind when he named the book.
