À propos de cet audio
Random House presents the audiobook edition of Midnight Tides: 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 magnificent 'Malazan Book of the Fallen' sequence - a monumental achievement that is being hailed by readers and critics alike as an epic of the imagination and a fantasy classic in the making.
Great listen

It's an unexpected divergence.

Otherwise, this is a fine chapter in the Malazan story. You thought you were getting comfortable with the characters and settings? Well, here’s a whole new continent for you to digest! (don’t worry, book 6 will jump you back over to Seven Cities). But it’s really nice to have this world building and refreshing to have a story that isn’t yet entangled with the Malazan Empire and it’s many campaigns. So for that it’s a lot of fun. Also some really cool battles, fights, and magic in this, which makes the second half vividly awesome in your mind.
Main thing that bothered me (and I know this only gets worse as the series goes on) is that EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER is a philosopher. No offence to Udinaas or Shurq Elalle, but they don’t feel like the sort of characters to sit and ponder the meaning of existence for minutes on end. But that’s Erikson’s style, and you’d best get used to it.
Performance was great, improved a little from House of Chains, especially since it looks like they re-recorded some of the pronunciations for consistency. Page could maybe use a few different voices or accents in his repertoire (he seemed to have more last time), but he’s still miles ahead of the ghastly Ralph Lister performances of the first 3 books.

Unfortunately the narrator seems to try his best to wreck the story. Page has three voices...a growl of a couple of timbres (sometimes with a bit of Scottish brogue), an imperious arrogant accent, and what he considers female expression ( sometimes with a bad 'Apu' Indian accent) but just sounds like an effeminate version of his normal reading voice.
He changes pronunciations from chapter to chapter (SOL'uh'TA'ken one moment, SOOL'Tay'Kun the next). It almost ruins the experience. Still well worth reading if you can ignore the performance. 7.5/10 stars.
Superb Story. Lame Reading

Too much explaining rather than showing.
