blairconrad 's review for:
Midnight Tides
by Steven Erikson
Started stronger than usual, I think. Alternating points of view between the two groups in relatively close proximity worked pretty well. Also, there were a few interesting characters this time: Trull (whom I'd forgotten from the previous book), Brys, Tehol, the Acquitor, and the Ceda. I found that I was intrigued by them, and wanted to learn more about their desires and personalities. And I was especially interested in Tehol's machinations.
In the end, though, Erikson squandered nearly all the promise of the first part of the book, never really continuing the character development. (Unless you count what he did to the Acquitor as development. It just sickened me.)
