Review of 'Gardens of the moon' on 'Goodreads'
2 stars
This book takes about 400 pages to get going. There's a lot of tedious inner life pseudo-philosophy and nonsensical name-dropping. It get really good in the last 100 pages(!) which, along with promises from friends that the series is worth it made me keep going.
If you ever get the impulse to skim parts of this book as you read, you should go right ahead and indulge it.
