Malowebi's head is still just hanging on Salt-Kellhus in the Golden Room?

On a tangent... I hate it in fiction (books or films) when the reader knows more than the characters. I spend the entire time waiting for them to catch up.

Indeed. It should certainly colour all discourse regarding the No-God 2.0 going forward.
