The Unholy Consult / Re: Thoughts post-AMA slog/Unholy Consultation thread
« on: August 04, 2017, 12:38:56 am »Aurang really shouldn't have gone out like a chump. How you build up a dude for 7 books and take him out in 2 pages? I feel like Bakker was the one guy who was gonna deliver the goods since I've been feeling like tons of works lately have been guilty of this, though I can't name any off the top of my head. But nope.
With this fight in particular I think it was just to show how much MORE Kellhus was than literally everyone else. The scene against Meppa was pretty awesome, but Aurang? Ain't nobody got no time for no AURANG...And I also thought that most of the sorcerer-ie battles that were not in the POV of one of the fighters were kind of lack-luster. No suspense, just destruction. Except for the tumbling of the Towers. That was awesome.
We've been getting that for 7 books. It just gets old.
Yeah. It would have been nice, I think, if the Great Ordeal(the book itself) had gone until they reached Golgotterath, and the entire Unholy Consult would have been the fight. Way more breathing room for the epic one on ones we had been hoping for, more introspection on why the Consult did this or that. We all have wishes, do we not? All I can do now is make the most sense of what we have been given.
