MIDNIGHT TIDES centers on a conflict between the Letherii and the Titse Edur. Arrogantly, the Letherii have goaded the Edur into war, assuming that their wealth, magic, and size will spell inevitable victory for the Letherii. Unfortunately for them, the Edur are talented warriors with unexpected ferocity. In addition, this group of Edur has been granted unholy powers by the Crippled God, who has manipulated himself into position to control the Edur through their young emperor, Rhulad.

The book is full of excellent characters, and mostly revolves around two sets of three brothers, one Edur and one Letherii. The Beddict brothers (Hull, Brys, and the hilarious Tehol) couldn’t be more different from one another, though they all play important roles in Letherii society. The Sengar brothers come form a powerful family within the Tiste Edur, and include Fear, Trull, and the aforementioned Rhulad. Trull is perhaps my favorite character from the entire series, being a extremely well-done character whom is also featured in House of Chains. He represents the skeptic and the thinker who is able to see beyond common group-think and challenge the assumptions of his people.

MIDNIGHT TIDES compares favorably with the other books in the series. It includes all of the same drama, violence, and magnificent imagery that all of the books lean on. Perhaps it is a little more focused and tame than the other books tend to be, helping the reader feel a bit more grounded in this vast world of Steven Erikson. Highly recommended. Looking forward to continuing the series with The Bonehunters

Midnight Tides A Tale of Malazan Book of the Fallen Steven Erikson 9780553813142 Books Reviews

I'm on my third read of this series, and it just gets better every time! The way this book expands upon the world that was just hinted at in previous books, the humor of Tehol and Bugg... Looking forward to my forth read of the series already!
Still reading but so far (over 3/4 of way through) it is a fascinating tale with a lot of unexpected twists and turns. Easy to follow multiple interwoven story lines and if read after reading the previous titles in the series, it begins to draw some plot lines together that seems to appear at bit out of nowhere in some of the previous books. Can't wait to finish and to go on to Book 6!
While this novel may at first seem to break away from the established settings and characters of Erikson's previous stories, readers will quickly find that the narrative brings resolution and new blood alike to the ongoing plot. Satisfaction of a number of important questions raised by previous novels is interwoven with new wonder for a myriad of fresh questions, places, peoples, and mythologies come to life. Not only are crucial past events clarified, but future plots are thrown into new light, leaving the reader hungry for more. Any fan of the Malazan books will find this novel by turns heartbreakingly poignant and laugh out loud delightful. Highly recommended!
This book is essentially the start of an entirely new plot line within the series. Thus, it took a little bit for me to really get into it. So far, it has probably been my least favorite of the series. However, after reading the next in the series, things start to tie together which makes this book essential reading. As always, Erikson paints a wonderfully complex world full of interesting characters and creatures. While it may be my least favorite thus far, it is still leagues better than a lot of other books I've read. If you've read through book 4, what are you waiting for?! Just read it!
Midnight Tides is the best book of the series so far. Trull Sengar, his borther Rhulad and Beddict borthers (especially duo Tehol Beddict & Bugg) are great characters and though the plot ends in bloodshed, there is no grandiose grand finale of clashing "cosmic forces" of the previous books, where one only wonders, what the main protagonists can do against such a "cosmic force", mostly being mere (human) beings.
Conflict of Tiste Edur and Letherii is well founded, characters, once introduced, behave logically and the book ending is quite realistic.
This book has everything the previous ones did, and more. That more is humor. Sure there were moments of levity in previous books among the heavy, heavy weight of life and death but this one adds serious moments of absurdity and laughter. Bugg and Tehol are like Abbott and Costello but with the biting wit of Monty Python thrown in.

Plus I must say that the rather blunt representation of capitalism and history and honor while expressed heavy handed still leaves a lot of room for one to have their own opinions and doubt, happily.

As I seem to end each review, it’s with the hope the author maintains this level of good storytelling.
Took a little bit to get into but in the end was as good as the previous four titles in the series. Steven Eriksons ability of shifting his style of writing depending on the point of view of the character you are following is amazing. If you read his books i encourage you to not be discouraged when you feel lost or that you missed something important. Keep reading and as the book draws to a close all will be made clear......well almost all.
