And have also read Night of Knives and Return of the Crimson Guard. What do you figure should be next in the Malazan universe - this, or Stonewielder / Orb, Sceptre, Throne? Have to say this one sounds rather more appealing...
You could read this one as a break from the Esslemonts, especially if you plan to read all three of them straight through (Esslemont's newest book, BLOOD AND BONE, is out in just a few weeks, in November).
There's some interesting major backstory revelations in FORGE OF DARKNESS which could throw some interesting light on the current-day MALAZAN books as well.

I'm more wondering whether to read the Esslemonts at all.

I enjoyed RotCG, so I don't know if I'm the best person to listen to
