Summary
Random House presents the audiobook edition of Midnight Tides: The Malazan Book of the Fallen 5 by Steven Erikson, read by Michael Page.
After decades of warfare, the five tribes of the Tiste Edur have finally united under the implacable rule of the Warlock King of the Hiroth. But peace has been exacted at a terrible price - a pact made with a hidden power whose motives are at best suspect, at worst deadly.
To the south, the expansionist kingdom of Lether has devoured all of its less-civilised neighbours with rapacious, cold-blooded hunger. All, that is, save one - the Tiste Edur. For Lether is approaching a long-prophesied renaissance - from kingdom and lost colony of the First Empire to Empire reborn. And so its people have fixed their avid gazes northward, to the rich and abundant lands and coasts of the Tiste Edur. And beneath the suffocating weight of gold, or by slaughter at the edge of a sword, it seems the Tiste Edur must fall. Or so Destiny has decreed.
As the gathering for a pivotal treaty between the two nears, ancient forces are awakening. For the impending struggle between these two civilisations is but a pale reflection of a far more profound, primal battle - a confrontation with the still-raw wound of an old betrayal and the craving for vengeance at its heart.
Among the Tiste Edur - among Trull Sengar's people - it is believed that the darkest hungers of the spirit arrive on the tides from the south, and these tides come at midnight....
War and betrayal, magic and myth collide in this, the stunning fifth chapter in Steven Erikson's magnificent Malazan Book of the Fallen sequence - a monumental achievement that is being hailed as an epic of the imagination and a fantasy classic in the making.

Different characters
This book follows slightly unrelated events. I suppose you can see it as Trull's story (mentioned in the previous book), but it's more than that. Some parts of it felt like a diversion, but once it was over I was a bit sad that it didn't continue.

It's a slow start
This book starts slow, if you're coming from the previous 4 then all the characters will be new. However within a couple of hours you'll be dying to know what happens. An excellent performance of a great book.

Tehol and Bugg steal the show
Erikson shows some Pratchettesque chops alongside his usual brand of god tier fantasy. This is quite simply brilliant.

The Trull Sengar story
The story tells the tragic tale Trull Sengar a character from the previous novel. It seemingly has little relevance to the previous novels but believing that would be too simplistic. As ever the Chained God is there like a maggot at the heart of the empire. It doesn’t matter which empire as all empires must “fall”.
Once I accepted the novel as an ‘almost’ stand alone story I enjoyed it as such, and it serves to give the overall series even more depth (if that’s possible).
Great battles, sickening magic, manipulating gods AND humour!? The scenes with Tehol Beddict and his manservant Bug are worthy of Terry Pratchett.
The narrator Michael Page also finds his feet with this story.
Some people might find this book a slog, but ultimately the effort is worth it……. ‘in my humble opinion master’.

if you have a few chuckles listening to this especially the interplay between Bugg and Tehol then by hoods hairy balls you're in the wrong place :)
