I found Deadhouse Gates utterly uncompelling yet I really enjoyed GoTM. In fact Deadhouse Gates stopped me from reading the rest of the series due to how pedestrian I found it.
Is this just because Paran's kid sister - oh, Felisin, there's her name - whines so much? Because apart from that, surely the Chain of Dogs is more compelling than anything in GotM.
In any case, the third book is the best, so you're gonna stop, I suggest you stop after MoI.
