Just finished TCG last night so I can finally follow the Malazan threads again. About TCG, it's more general things, putting it in spoiler just in case. The first half of the book felt boring, to me it was a giant pile of emo in a desert. It felt like it was really blown way out of proportion, and the only thing that made me keep reading on was the fact that I know Erikson has weaker parts in almost all books. And of course the PoV changes to the fun characters like Ganoes and Kalam/QB. But I think I could have skipped pretty much all the early desert chapters and miss nothing, that's how little is actually happening. And then the last few chapters where everything comes together, but a lot of it felt rushed and we seem to miss some big parts that could have been included if not for the wasted space in the first half. - What was the point of spending 20% of TCG on the Greyhelms, and then in the end we don't even know where they ended up. (Yes I don't like that story at all.) - Why do we suddenly need childhood memories of 10 different soldiers describing their homeland and upbringing, do that in book 1-9 please. - What exactly happens at the spire after the heart is being carried away. I guess I expected a lot more based on the earlier books of the series and several important and fun characters got little to no "screen time" and there seems little to redeem that. Wish we'd have the scene where Tehol and Bugg arrive to pick up Brys after all is done.

I'd recommend any book with Tehol/Bugg in it, these two deserve their own book.
