Atrocity Tales / Re: The Knife of Many Hands [Spoilers]

The Pirates of the Momas Gale are Damned and don't care. So things that might previously seem like Damnable sins to them are instead simply viewed by them as more pleasures.

I thought Bakker was cryptically talking about the Consult?

Quote
The crew of the Momus Gale had no doubt that their souls lay beyond reprieve, and so they sucked as violently as they could from the teat of brief life. They were Takers in every way, and woe to those with wares to be taken.

Maybe the Consult or the No-God are actually collecting souls as some have suggested.

That's what I thought, but I'm still not sure how the fires of damnation (the punishment) are analogous to a 'whore's tongue' in Carythusal. Seems to me that Bakker is bending over backwards to insert the word whore in everything.

Neuropath / Re: Neuropath Kindle version (amazon.com)

Okay, thanks. But I just skimmed through the whole book and my version doesn't have any of them. I also recall there being an afterward in the paperback which I can't find here either.

Neuropath / Neuropath Kindle version (amazon.com)

Has anyone bought the Kindle version of Neuropath from the amazon US store? Because I just did and... didn't this book have sections written entirely in italics preceding every chapter? Including at the very beginning of the book? Because I seem to be missing all of them.

For them, she was a place where the fires of damnation licked as a whore's tongue.

So... what the fuck does the above line mean?

eta: ah... sorry, I thought it said "licked a whore's tongue" when it's "licked as a whore's tongue".

eta2: it still makes no sense.

Only has 1 rating so far.

Aw... so not only does it have a one star rating, only one person has read it?

So GM#3 has a 1/5 rating on Goodreads... wonder if it's anything Bakker said.

Thanks Wilshire, that's good news. I wonder what the four books are, TUC, LT&G, maybe Disciple sequel [and] something else?

I haven't bought it yet, but from the sample on Amazon,

He had his moments, like the way he foiled Conphas’s coup attempt.

In case you want to add info from The False Sun,

Quote
To the west lay the River Sursa, whose rusty waters bloomed far into the Sea during day. Beyond it, the wastes of Agongorea plaited the horizon, chapped and cracked like untanned leather. Low mountains knotted the north and east, domes of bald granite rising from forested slopes: the hunchbacked Urokkas.

Nogaral stood upon the westernmost summit, Iros

I think those are the mountains near Dagliash.

The White-Luck Warrior / Re: Mimara
« on: March 10, 2015, 09:46:36 pm »
Anyone think its likely that Mimara's child will end up being like a certain child from Dune who was exposed to spice in the womb?

Nah, that's Kelmomas once he takes Maithanet's place and becomes known as the Toddler Shriah. That may even be the name of the third series, The Toddler Shriah.

Just a question, in AE was it Kellhus’ claim that he changed things so that sorcerers are no longer damned or did he just reveal that they weren’t damned to begin with?
