A review by twerkingtobeethoven
Midnight Tides by Steven Erikson

5.0

New continent, new characters, new settings; a new starting point altogether. "Gardens of the Moon" is book #1 of the series, it is also said to be the weakest novel of the "Malazan Book of the Fallen". Well, "Midnight Tides" could easily be a novel of its own, and a very good one at that. Once again, the ending is the best bit as Erikson seems to be particularly talented when it comes to closing a story the "right way". What else? Trull Sengar and Tehol Beddict are two of the greatest characters in this whole series. The passages between Tehol and his manservant, Bugg, are some of the best dialogue and moments of dramatic irony you’ll find anywhere in modern fantasy. Beautiful, as usual.
