Glad you're enjoying the books, Seerdon. It's been a while since I read Gardens of the Moon, but I do recall that it built up to a resounding climax in Darujhistan. Deadhouse Gates is a bit disorienting at first, but what a book - filled with honour, hardhsip and tragedy. I understand that there are plans to film just parts of this book as a standalone movie - the whole Chain of Dogs plotline. That would make a great movie if done well.
