Deadhouse Gates

With so many characters and storylines, it feels like a tightrope walk to keep everything cohesive. I wonder if there was a particular process or plan behind this structure.

The book seamlessly switches between intense battles and complex political maneuvers. It made me think about how these elements influence each other in shaping the story.

The world-building here is so vivid and immersive. I’m curious whether Erikson drew from real-world history or created this entirely from scratch.
