Im reaching the end of Midnight Tides now and need something to read.

Ive found three books that look interesting to me and i think could be a good read. Would you recommend them ?

The Darkness That Comes Before - R Scott BAkker
The Briar King - Greg Keyes
The KNight - Gene Wolfe

The Briar king is good and i think the second part is due for release soon.

I've read all three of your choices there, and I enjoyed Bakker's book the most... if you love Erikson, Bakker is a sure bet... in fact, I thought that The Darkness that Comes Before is a better debut novel than Gardens of the Moon....

Read them all. They're good choices.
Though I agree that if you like Erikson, Baker is the safest bet.

Is Bakker a stand alone?

The Keyes book and Bakker's book were probably the two best fantasies published last year (of those I read). you can't go wrong with either.
