I finished TUC about 10 days ago.  Still angry, revolted and amazed with myself that I slogged through so much filth just to see how it ends...only to find that absolutely nothing about the ending makes the price of admission remotely worth paying. 

I've been a fan since +- 2003/4 when I read Darkness that Comes Before and found it to be one of the best fantasy novels I'd ever read.  I loved the entire PON series, even if it was dark + brutal.  In the wait between books, I even made the egregious error of reading Bakker's pornographic/seriously sick stand-alone novel, Neuropath (featuring such witticisms as, "I only fuck the meat" ), so enamored was I of PON.

The entire Aspect Emporer series, but particularly the last two books and TUC more than any, is just revolting.  And so much of it turns out to be pointless: the last cishaurim; the entire Mimara/baby/Judging Eye storyline; the entire 'what will Sorweel chose' storyline ... wham, he's another WL Warrior last second, and oh, by the way he sucks at it and fails because of that repulsive dipshit Kelmomas; Achamian's reunion with Esmenet - a few hours of reconciliation before he is sent off to eternal torment (while she, for no reason but the arbitrariness of the demon-gods, is saved); I could go on. And along the way we have to slog through the truly demented, repulsive imagination of Scott Bakker. 

I recall on the old forum a thread where Bakker (who used to post frequently) was crowing about reading a review from someone who was so repulsed by the brutality in the PON series that she decided to burn the book, which Bakker thought was seriously funny.  7 books and +- 14 years later, I'm seriously thinking of tossing mine. No way I'll leave them around for my kids to discover, and I don't really hate anyone enough to gift them.  I gather there is speculation of a further No-God series.  Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice...
