I think when Kellhus asks Esmi what she has done--it's about Esmi's grudge against Kellhus. She thinks that the gods have killed her kids because of their hate for Kellhus and then she deliberately keeps the narindar that killed Kellhus' brother. I think Kellhus saw in her face that she wants to kill him.
I think you're onto something here, MG, though Bakker could have been markedly less subtle about that, if accurate.
I think Mg is right on track. And, Kellhus would've been killed if not for Kelmommas.
I read "let it happen" from Esmi as an entreaty to let the White Luck Warrior kill Kellhus, since she knew both were present. The loss of Thelli and the symbolic loss of Kel being the final straws.
Stop me if this has cropped up on another thread, but did anyone notice how the scene the WLW envisions for Kellhus' death changes between books? In WLW (the book), the Warrior envisions clashing swords with Kellhus, the notch in the former's blade causing the blade to shatter against Enshoiya and allowing the Warrior to slip past Kellhus's defense. But in this book, it's the already-broken sword (when did that happen?) being hurled across the room as Kellhus is distracted by his wife trying to kill him.
Seems like too big a change to be a continuity error, which suggests that the "set" future the WLW has "always" envisioned is either not so set after all, or that Kelmomas had already been inadvertantly changing details.
