Personally I’m really obsessed with the lore in Fire Emblem: Three Houses

Question for you. I’ve tried getting into Gardens of the Moon a couple times, but I find it’s just endless dialogue. Are all of the books just constant dialogue? I found I was missing Tolkien-style descriptions and scene setting.

The dialog is pretty consistent and certainly gets overwhelming at times. I understand why Erikson started the story where he did but you’re dropped into the story about 100,000 years after it started. I’m 16 books in and just starting to understand the events that kicked everything off.

All that said, best books I’ve ever read without question. %100 with the read. If you want another entry point I might suggest giving Midnight Tides a try. It is the 5th book and takes place on the other side of the world with completely new characters so you don’t need any context from the first 4 books. Midnight Tides also contains my 2 favorite characters in all of fiction, the banter between Tehol and Bugg is immaculate. That dialog is probably a better intro than Krul and Krupe.
