I've decided that next year for Christmas, I'm buying everyone in the family a copy of Gardens of the Moon by Steven Erikson. More people need to recognize that Erikson is the greatest fantasy writer of all time - better than Tolkien, better than Le Guin, better than Martin.

Better than EVERYONE.

@toddlyons Attaboy. Stick with it, it is not an easy read and I found myself progressing slower than I typically do, often going back to re-read sections to ensure I hadn't missed anything important. This ain't Harry Potter, my dude.
