The second novel in the awe-inspiring Malazan Book of the Fallen series. "Gripping, fast-moving, delightfully dark, with a masterful and unapologetic brutality reminiscent of George R. R. Martin." â?? Elizabeth Haydon In the vast dominion of Seven Cities, in the Holy Desert Raraku, the seer Sha'ik and her followers prepare for the long-prophesied uprising known as the Whirlwind.

Sette Città era una civiltà radicata nel potere dell'antichità ; l'antichità in cui gli Ascendenti camminavano su ogni strada mercantile, ogni sentiero, ogni pista abbandonata fra città dimenticate. (64)
Ho percorso antiche strade In questo giorno Che diventavano spettri con Il calar della notta E scomparivano ai miei occhi Con l'alba. Tale fu il mio viaggio Leghe attraverso secoli In un batter di ciglia del sole.

Quando le sabbie Danzavano cieche, Lei emerse dal volto Di una dea furibonda.
Literary masterpiece, if any single one of the other Malazan books are similar to this than I don't know if I'll be able to read regular fantasy after. Gardens of the Moon suffered at times from the feeling that nothing was happening, Deadhouse Gates is the complete opposite. It could stand alone with how intensive but also well wrapped-up the story is, but since its the second of a long, long series it sets up what I'm worried is a nearly impossible standard to match. The ending was fitting, but its one of the first times I was actively hoping for some blatant author miracle to save them. Any break in (fantasy) realism would have been welcomed rather than Coltaines end.  ( )
I sometimes have a hard time imagining the terrain, especially during Coltaine's marches. I just can't visualize battlefield and what its surroundings look like. This is the first fantasy book where I've felt an urge to consult the maps. I can't wait to read Memories of Ice. ( )

Boekbeschrijving
De zware nederlaag voor de muren van Darujhistan heeft het Malazijnse keizerrijk ernstig verzwakt - het rijk balanceert op de rand van de ondergang. Intussen is in het uitgestrekte gebied van de Zeven Steden de Zieneres Sha'ik in de heilige woestijn Raraku bezig een geweldig leger op te bouwen. Zo bereidt zij zich voor op de Apocalyps, de alomvattende opstand die in millennia oude legendes wordt voorspeld en die het hele continent in een ongekend bloedige en barbaarse oorlog zal storten.
En hoe is het met de Bruggenbranders? Na het fiasco in Darujhistan is het regiment nu vogelvrij verklaard. Zowel Hoge Vuist 'Eenarm' Dujek als kapitein Paran en sergeant Whiskyjack zijn van plan zich aan te sluiten bij de tegenstanders van het keizerrijk.
Fiddler en Kalam besluiten echter hun eed gestand te doen en keizerin Laseen te laten boeten voor haar misdaden - zij gaan op weg naar Unta, de hoofdstad van het rijk. Zodra ze het gebied van de Zeven Steden bereiken worden ze evenwel meegesleept in een reeks gebeurtenissen die hen onafwendbaar naar Raraku drijft, waar oude en nieuwe magie inmiddels strijden om het bezit van de Poorten van het Dodenhuis.

Sette Città era una civiltà radicata nel potere dell'antichità ; l'antichità in cui gli Ascendenti camminavano su ogni strada mercantile, ogni sentiero, ogni pista abbandonata fra città dimenticate.

Ho percorso antiche strade
In questo giorno
Che diventavano spettri con
Il calar della notta
E scomparivano ai miei occhi
Con l'alba.
Tale fu il mio viaggio
Leghe attraverso secoli
In un batter di ciglia del sole.
Epitaffio Pardu

Quando le sabbie
Danzavano cieche,
Lei emerse dal volto
Di una dea furibonda.

...Heboric scoppiò a ridere. Sollevò le mani invisibili. "Mostrami un mortale che non sia inseguito e ti mostrerò un cadavere. Ogni cacciatore è cacciato, ogni mente che conosce se stessa è inseguita. Spingiamo e siamo spinti. L'ignoto insegue l'ignorante, la verità assale ogni studioso abbastanza saggio da riconoscere la propria ignoranza, perché quello è il significato di verità inconoscibili".

E così, la semplice verità ... i sentieri che abbiamo percorso per così tanto tempo diventano le nostre stesse vite, loro stesse una prigione...
