[TUC SPOILERS] A mundane answer to a series-spanning question

« on: May 08, 2017, 05:04:43 pm »
In Wert's review, he writes:

Quote
There are some revelations here that will have the reader nodding in approval, others that will be mystifying and several that are surprising in both their content and their elegance (one, extraordinarily important, answer to a vital series-spanning question would even border on the mundane, but the implications of the revelation are far-reaching)

Any ideas as to what the series-spanning question is?  There aren't a ton of them, really.  My best guess is: "why did Moenghus (really) leave Ishual?"

Perhaps it is the answer to the question, "why did they Inchoroi think any of this was a good idea?"

I really like this P. grape. But, I don't see the answer to that being very elegant.

OTOH --- perhaps these are the very last words of TUC. And the cliffhanger mentioned by Wert and Pat.

This is great!  Crackpot: the original No-God is future Kellhus captured by an ancestral link through Nau-Cayuti.  So the No-God asking that question is actually Kellhus!
