RxBrad reviewed Midnight Tides by Steven Erikson (Malazan Book of the Fallen, #5)
Review of 'Midnight Tides' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
So, the first four Malazan books... This one dumps everything you've read. It takes place before the first book with a completely new plotline and completely new characters (save for one minor character from Book 4).
On the bright side, it's a good book with plenty of interesting characters. Time travel does get briefly mentioned in this book, so I suspect that some of these characters will make it into the main storyline in the next book or two.
