Midnight Tides (Malazan Book of the Fallen Book 5) Steven Erikson

The Tiste Edur people are being manipulated by a god not there own. The separate Edur tribes have been made into a nation and they respond to aggression from the Letherii Empire with invasion to carve out there own empire. The leaders of the invasion are the Sengar family for whom the new god’s interference has brought only misery.

I was disappointed when I opened the book and saw no Malazan’s in the character list. A disappointment that only depend with the realisation that the book was going to be the story of Trull Sengar (Which I had absolutely no interest in). The redeeming features of this book were the chapters on Tehol Beddict (And associated character) and later on Iron Bars and his Crimson Guard. There were not enough of these chapters surrounded with lots of boring chapters about the Tiste Edur and the Letherii (Slaves, Politicians, Seren Pedac, etc.) On the whole a big disappointment after the great book that was House of Chains.
