A review by dougtron
Midnight Tides by Steven Erikson

4.0

Erikson throws a whole new wrinkle into the series as he introduces a whole new continent into the mix. This book also has a great deal more humor than the previous books with the interactions between Tehol Beddict and his servant Bugg. Throw the undead Letharii thief, Shurq Elalle, into the mix and you pretty much have a screwball comedy mixed into Erikson's usual brand of gritty fantasy. If you've made it this far into the series, you are probably in for the long haul, but I think this one has enough in it to act as a stand alone novel for the merely curious.
