The Almanac: PON Edition / Re: ARC: TWP Chapter 25

Needless to say that that ending blew me away and shocked me to hell and back - now that's an awesome way to close a book.

Presumably, will you be doing the ARC: TTT now?
Cheers!

Two awesome chapters in a row. It was satisfying AF when Akka unleashed his all magical power and got his revenge. The fact that in the middle of all that carnage he also fought that Demon is a bonus. Bakker's purple prose was strong in this one.

The real question is, why didn't anyone else in the Holy War know?


Aside for any information revealing this in the latter Aspect-Emperor novels (which I'm slowly getting through) I'd say it's either plot-armor (plot-intellect, in this case) or just good old Dunyain training that makes him superior to the rest of the Luddite plebs,

I really liked this chapter. It seemed like everything that could go wrong for the Holy War happened.
I suspected that it was intellect on behalf of Kellhus to find water in the desert.
The thing that got me like, "aw man, come on" was the Spires sensing the Chorae. That was bad-ass, but I was under the impression that the Chorae have been around for a while now - how come people use them and don't know their full properties (like that any wizard can sense their presence). You'd think that would be a good thing to learn about Chorae before start using them.
Once again, mad props to TheCulminatingApe - mate, your synopsis posts are the stuff the community needs. Cheers!

Hiya. New member here that recently started the... SLOG (I think that's what you call it) - so I'm extremely grateful that you are marking all spoilers. Props to that.

Anyway, maybe others mentioned this, I didn't notice, but do you think the reference in this chapter to the "Red Lion of Saubon or the Black Stag of Gothyelk" are a courtesy nod to George R R Martin's Song of Ice and Fire? I mean, I know that Lannister's lion is golden yellow on their flag and not red, but the Baratheon's stag is indeed black too.

That was my 2 cents, guys.

Thanks to TheCulminatingApe for keeping these synopsis chapters going.
Cheers!
