I think this is perhaps the best example of a series that begs to be re-read as you need to know the story before you can really understand everything you are reading. I am still working my way through it (on Reaper's Gale) and it is definitely starting to get interesting, but I look forward to the second run through.

Best fantasy series I've ever read by a long, long way. I picked up Gardens of the Moon just before a flight to Turkey, hadn't heard anything about it or Erikson just knew I needed a book for the holiday.

Whilst playing the Dominions demo I couldn't help notice how similar in feel the game was to Erikson's series, if the pretenders weren't actually linked to any set nation and could pick and choose as the game went on then it would pretty much be identical in a way.

Hmm. Including the possibility of pretenders stupidly getting killed by mortals.
