The Unholy Consult / Re: Big question about the consult's intentions.

That would still mean they prepared Kelmomas to come out at the precise moment meant they knew a God would inhabit Kellhus. Seems too convenient of a moment.

No, that is simply your opinion, which you are entitled to. I am also permitted to share mine. Thank you.
I still stick by mine because I'm not sure Kelmomas would backstab his father after changing his tune.

he wasnt interviewed extensively. he most likely couldn't even enter the ark until after the horn toppled, due to the massive battle. he also was probably carried up until the final moments before arriving near the throne room. like i said he was being held down by a skin spy until after kellhus/godtime which is where he hears his father and wants to exclaim his excitement

I dont really understand why little Kel would betray his father after giving himself over to him and slaying Sorweel. He begs and would prove anything for him. I don't buy the idea of him then turning over to the dark side so to speak especially without a POV chapter.

What I got from it was a skin spy basically says, "OK dont come out and distract Kellhus until AFTER he gets possessed by a literal God."

However if Kelmomas was being held hostage by a skin spy in a separate room, and then Kellhus/Ajokli pins all of the skin spies to the floor by their chorae (releasing Kelmomas), I would like a sentence or two at least of him being in awe or curiously drawn towards this event and then stumbling into his fathers presence.

Where are the 10/10s? Reviewers have no balls anymore honestly. They find one thing they dont like personally and bring it down to sound smarter. Lets see these reviews reviewed in 5 years and see how bad they aged compared to the holy consult

I like the theory, but in none of the scenes where we get the Inchoroi they never mention something similar to this. And the Consult spent a great deal of time searching for Ishual in TWP-TTT. I would think they would have said something like
"Ah yes a ember, do you think that time has come you pretty pretty skin spy?

That was my first impression as well, I read the book too fast.

Now that its sunk into my shell of a skull I love it more than I did before TUC. Give it time young apprentice

are not all dunyain Anasurimbor? I thought they just took the namesake of the "boy who lived" prince who was left at IshuaL?

So.... does Ajokli finally see the No-Godthrough Cnauirs eyes? This is a big deal going into the third series, right?

I am still confused on how little Celmomas could have always been the No God, because if he made a deal with Ajokli early on then the Gods surely can see him. I assumed Celmomas just fit the lineage well enough and that the Consult wanted to wait and see what Kellhus would do before unleashing the No-God, (since any of the Dunyain could have fit that place.)

The Unholy Consult / Re: [TUC Spoilers] Conditioned ground
« on: August 12, 2017, 02:50:12 am »
Speaking of Conditioned Ground, the encounter in TTT between Kellhus and Moenghus in retrospect foreshadows the taking over of the Consult by the Dunyain.

Kellhus sees that his father will aligned himself with the Consult to save his soul and will try to assassinate him, and that is when he decides to dispose of his father. And he tells him the enigmatic, I am more (presumably) by that time his interaction with Ajoklis is already in place.

Thus Kellhus in his probability trance predicts the possibility of some Dunyain joining the Consult in order to save themselves.
Jesus that is good.

Author Q&A / Re: Midlist Authors & Online Piracy

I can't quite nail this point down, but there is something to be said about millennials taking this issue too personally, and having a warped perspective. The internet has been so instrumental in their lives / growing up that they cant help but see themselves personally shaping it. "I am apart of this movement."

It also doesn't help that we live live in an Everything Now era. Any critism of this new state is met with "Get with the times old man!"

And yeah, people will make record profits even with piracy, the internet has simply built more roads to access customers.

"So did the Great Ordeal of Anasurimbor Kellhus perish in salt and butchery." Even though I didnt like the ending at first, this line sent a chill down my spine, I imagined the Sranc moving as one through the ordeal like a wave not caring for the sand rising an then wash over the Ordeal.

Why after feeling being in a room with 100 chorae attached skin spies Kellhus just decides to hang around? And since it takes Kellhus at least a second to teleport out, why would he risk overstaying his welcome when the skin spies have supernatural physical abilities?

If Kellhus had died to TWLW in TGO it would have at least had a decent buildup, and there would have be a finality to it.

General Earwa / Skin Spy Senses
« on: July 01, 2017, 12:55:42 am »
When Kellhus is studying the-thing-called-Sarcellus in TWP it brought up a question that I don't think is answered in the books. Kellhus can see skin spies almost immediately because they have no face, and he can notice the false expressions given out by the creatures, but as far as I know he cannot smell the difference as Aurang does when he finds the previous skin spy Sarcellus at Mengedda.

So how do other skin spies tell apart one another from men? I know the captured one during TTT screams in a high pitched voice that "only rats can hear" but I would be curious how long it would take a skin spy to find his brother in a crowd of people.

I do like this idea, but I assumed this scene with Serwe was a way to show the progression of time, how the characters have gotten used to the basic routines of the great host's migration.

I think its easy to say two hundred thousand people marched south towards Shimeh, but this is one of those small details that grounds the book so well. It's not just a cute relatable moment with Serwe waking up before an alarm clock like many of us do. I also like ending a chapter or a scene with some greater event (horns in the distance, host will now move,) moving the plot forward. At least in my mind I see people already starting to decamp and take down the tents.
