Re: first book

I just passed page 300 in Gardens of the Moon and I have to admit that I am hooked like a fish! Arrgh!

Personally, I love all of the back and forth POV's that Erikson does. But what I love the most are the helpful glossaries in the front (characters) and the back (people, places, and things!). Very, very helpful so far.

But...the map of the continent sucks! It needs to be bigger and better detailed. I love maps and refer to them frequently to help my mind grasp the setting of the story. And if I can't even find the places mentioned in the book...well, it becomes a little frustrating to say the least.

Anyway, I'm loving the book and hoping to finish by the end of the week or shortly thereafter.
