Steve Erikson's writing is dense, which is why it always takes me quite some time to get through his books and Deadhouse Gate is no exception. But what keeps me going is the world building which is done so well. Every person, every tribe you encounter feels so alive, like there is a whole set of stories written about its people and folklore. It makes the world feel so alive and vibrant.
At the same time so much of this story takes place in the desert, and it can feel like it is dragging on a little bit. I also feel like this book was setting up a lot of what is to come. Especially in terms of character building but also in terms of the story. Suffice it to say I'm excited to see where the story will go.
