Maybe that's why she's saved? Because she tried to kill Kellhus.

Of course they can have both. They'd be pretty fucking terrible at pretending to be women if you could see their massive boners through their silk dresses.

I've never read Mark Lawrence's books, but I might give them a try based on this result. Oooh, he's suckered me in

News/Announcements / How grimdark is TDTCB?
« on: August 24, 2017, 07:08:16 pm »
Mark Lawrence is running a poll on his blog to try and rate different novels according to how grimdark they are (and therefore get a feel for what the genre actually defines).
Anyway, TDTCB is there, but it can't be added to the list until it gets 100 votes. If you haven't already, consider going along and voting (and also on the others in the low vote list).

I'm not sure I could take it with all the mispronunciations - it's bad enough when Bakker pronounces things wrong!

While I'm not particularly bothered about it in the way you are, I think on the AMA Bakker said something about it being 2,3 or more books. So he hasn't actually devoted yet and you may get your wish!
I think it'll probably come down to whether a publisher wants to pay him to do it.

Isn't it something to do with Soddom and Gamorah? Someone looked back at it (Lot? Lot's wife?) and was turned to a pillar of salt. So basically the wicked and/or those who give in to temptation are reduced to salt.

One thing I will say, is that one of the reasons I love TSA is that these are all Valid Questions, and there is more to what's going on than what we "see" on the page. We may never (probably will never?) know the answers to these questions - just like in real life. Since the beginning, I've always felt that if sorcery were real, it would be just like this.
I think if another writer wrote these books, then chorae would just be magic stones that kill wizards. Full stop, nothing else to discuss. As I get older, I grow really weary of reading about those kinds of worlds. They're just so boring.

This is about as close to perfect as it gets, imo. I love your style, I think you've nailed Kellhus in all of your art.

« on: August 19, 2017, 07:10:05 am »Any hint if "The Crabiqiad" (lol) will be all devoted to Crabby or will have a glimpse at least of what happened to the others?
My understanding is that it's just Crabby. In fact, Bakker actually said the other reason he wants to make Crabiqiad the first book is how much it will piss off people who are waiting for a follow-up to the ending of TUC.
As much as I trust Bakker's ability to write an interesting tale, I just don't find Crabicus interesting. I hope he doesn't go so OTT-Bakkerish in his impishness that he writes a disconnected story that holds no significance to the wider story, or his series will suffer as a result of it. Pissing people off is fine (even me
), but I hope he doesn't do the series a disservice.

Curethan, I may have edited my post quite a lot while you were posting, so apologies if it's changed since you posted this!
Anyway, to answer this point:
Ok, so maybe we're working under different assumptions here. I don't believe that Psukhe-wielders are any less damned than anyone else. I don't think the Mark is necessarily a sign of damnation - only of imperfection. EDIT - sorry, we actually agree on this. Blerg, will stop editing now!
Anyway, to answer this point:
I'll try and clarify my position for you Yellow.
Well, sorcery alters Creation, yes? The God is responsible for reality, sorcery changes that reality according to the desire of the sorcerer, whether it's the Psukhe or not. There's plenty of ways to get damned without causing the Mark, why should the Psukhe be exempt?
