Gardens of the Moon Explained in 10 Minutes or Less | Malazan Summary

[@-Adam.Z]

Thanks for doing this. I read Gardens of the Moon a couple years ago, and I’d like to go on with the series but I’d rather not have to re-read GotM before beginning Deadhouse Gates. Videos like this one help with recalling the major events/characters.

[@Pillboxing]

Man great to hear someone talking about this series. Do more!

[@mirotalks]

Thanks, will do!

[@HuggableJohn]

I started reading this series in 2012, made it to book 9, and have pretty much stopped reading for years now. But I want to finish the series and needed to refresh my memory. So thanks for the great summary. Also, I noticed the Hollow Knight music. Nice touch!

[@Purgatory73]

Thank you for the refresher! I am in book 3 now and wanted a quick recap and this was great!

[@davidrobertson5996]

Thanks Miro. That was a very good recap. I remember being quite confused while reading this, and your recap helped me understand it a bit better.

[@Bkoska07]

Great thanks for this and really well summarised. I’m about to go on Holiday, bringing Deadhouse Gates with me and this video was the perfect summary I needed as a reminder of events in Gotm

[@dddis]

Extremely well done summary. Need more of these!

[@galorentz]

I need a video like this for every book in the series 😅

[@ibrock139]

Nice synopsis! A great resource ... looking forward to ' summary!

[@mirotalks]

Fair enough, this definitely is more of a synopsis lol

[@seanofthegames1523]

Thank you for doing this. This series is definitely a lot to take in.

[@noobdaddyraces]

Cool. Just finished reading it and wanted to check my understanding!

[@aerialruin8568]

Thanks, cool summary, just today finished Gardens.

[@GwenCooper-l1b]

Thanks for the great summary!

[@Potlucke]

I love reading a 600+ page book, and then learning how others pronounce names and locations. haha. Nice video!

[@presencekid]

Yes! More please.

[@Cavething777]

Sweet recap!!!

[@ShawnFulkerson]

Super helpful! Thanks so much!

[@samuelleask1132]

Bro this was great, thank you so much! I finished Gardens of the Moon yesterday and it was a blast, but I did have a hard time working out what was going on sometimes 😂😂😂

[@mortoncodes9323]

The first book I read in the series when I was in my 8th grade was "Reaper's Gale". I couldn't understand what was going on but I kept on reading 😂😂..anyway, fast forward in my twenties I challenged my self to pick up "Gardens of the Moon" and to my surprise I liked it, in fact my favourite character was Anomander Rake.

[@mirotalks]

Hard way to start lol

[@noteuser15]

Nice man. Thanks for the video.

[@PurpleKaeru]

Thanks, its good reminder before second book.

[@theesquag]

lovely refresher!

[@tanvirahmad5893]

This series is like a textbook that you don't want to read but you kinda want to read. And while doing so have to make notes about each event and characters to latter analyze for answers.

[@vilexross]

Just finished the garden of the moon, recap in preparation of next book.

[@bravetraveler768]

Nice work. Please keep it up.

[@steliosgrimbas]

Nice review I have read gardens of the moon recently and it was a wonderful journey (in my native language).I want very much continued with series but unfortunately the following do not exist, so the vocabulary is quite difficult for me,i am almost onto B2 level

[@KainReave]

Did you hear about or read The Prince of Nothing trilogy? 'Lord of the Rings + A Game of Thrones + Dune + Nietzsche = R. Scott Bakker's "The The Second Apocalypse"' (TPoN is first trilogy of trilogies from that) There's a YT 'trailer' for TSA and apparently Erikson said "Take note, one and all, something remarkable has begun here..." (maybe about 1st book).

[@mirotalks]

Yeah I've had it recommended to me before, but I still have some other reading to do before i can get to it

[@ghostwraith119]

Я бы увеличил длину ролика до 15 минут и добавил подробностей. Спасибо за труд, надеюсь, будет продолжение!

[@004-qh4wj]

Привет я на этом канале сново увидел шедевр это видео прекрасно как и остальные

[@Gaverny]

Great work. Thank you! Bk 2 if you're able 🙏

[@mirotalks]

Thanks! Will do so if I get around to it

[@deepstatethrombosis]

I have read this book three times and still don't know what is happening. I've heard I'm not the only one but that the series becomes one of the best fantasy series of all time if you can get past it? Is this true on any level?

[@flowhannesburg1912]

Do this for all the books big dawg 😂

[@nightowl1337]

Good recap. I will say the overall series is pretty good, but GTOM is written very poorly. To have so many get confused is pretty bad in my opinion. I do think it was a script, converted to a book which would explain the poor and confusing scenes. The writing does improve as the series goes on. It’s a good series of books, but this book is a bad start

[@saitouhajime3]

Honestly, I feel like Gardens is not that hard to understand. Though concepts are thrown at you, they do explain a fair bit of them, or at least the rudimentary working of them. It does have its faults; what first book doesn't? But overall, in my personal opinion, it's a real enjoyable read.

[@danielsinnott2343]

Agreed. I just finished Gardens of the Moon last night and really didn't find it that confusing. I have a few questions but I was following along well enough. With the reputation the series has, I thought it would be a much tougher read. I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't. Looking very much forward to more.

[@nicklombardo8944]

Its a little confusing on audiobook because there is no announcement and very little pause to let you know when you have changed scenes/perspectives. Its great when you give it 100% focus but a minor lapse in attention and its easy to get lost

[@danielsinnott2343]

@@nicklombardo8944 I couldn't imagine trying to get through this on audiobook as a first time read.

[@004-qh4wj]

Отлично

[@thebrysmith3]

So I read the book and listened to the audio book twice and this still made me all wtf. 🤣

[@mirotalks]

Yeah it's a lot lol
