I was planning to reread the last two Malazan books before the release of the Crippled God, and I have been blindsided. So what should I remember before starting the Crippled God?

PS: I don't want full summaries, just little points in the form of (hypothetical example) Ganeos Paran killed by Mel.

EDIT1: To clarify further, what I meant to ask is what each character was doing and where he was just before the start of the crippled god. Actually I have started reading the book, and most of the characters were covered in the first chapter in such a manner that made things clear. Still, I found some parts disconcerting like Ganeos', since I couldn't figure out where he was from the text. So a good answer would have been 'Ganeos was in Aren, defying the emperor and besieged by X and Y'.

The problem arises because most reviews don't go over the story in detail to avoid spoilers, and the wiki pages for the series are seriously outdated and incomplete.
