| Re: Midnight Tides - yes, another MT thread! I enjoyed the book more than I expected, mainly I think because Erikson had become a much better writer by that point. The Edur and that whole side of the story I thought were very interesting. the Letherii... not so much. The Ceda was cool and Tehol and Bugg were useful as comedy interludes (they felt more like Pratchett than anything else), but on the whole I think the entire Letherii plot was dull. I guess me and Lenny find different things interesting. Particularly since he rates MoI as his fourth (or fifth!) favourite of the series.
Also, the ending... without giving it away, I have to say that I hate tragedy. It frustrates me.
Without being a miserable git (I know, too late) I found the series went downhill from here and has yet to pick up. |
