Erikson has lots of plots/sub plots/sub sub plots going on in the background of the books. Most of them aren't really revealed until later on. I always read each book twice just make sure I had all of the plot points straight.
That was actually one of things that I liked about the books best. You have all of these various plot points going on and you are just thrown into the middle of them. So you either sink or swim in figuring out the various threads.
I thought he ended the Malazan series rather well. With all of the books all of the loose plot points have been tied up. Except for the Karsa story. That will be resolved in a separate trilogy later on.
The Ian C Esslemont Malazan books are different. He has no really hidden sub plots in his books. Everything is pretty much out in the open.
