I must confess, this is exactly what makes me a bit uneasy about TNG.

For myself I don't know about uneasy exactly, but I understand what you mean. Its uncharted territory.
I suspect we have a decade or so to accept this new reality though before TNG 1 comes out.

Never would I not read anything remotely associated with this story, so dont take what I say the wrong way. But, after TUC, my Hope's for anything being revealed fully has taking a hit. I just dont see anything being spelled out for us. Just hints and innuendoes, tbh.

Yeah. More information seems to just lead to more questions. That's what makes it fun, but TUC/TAE did shatter any illusions I had about new books/series answering old questions.

Gotcha. I'm truly excited and hoping more is invested in Mimara, also. I hope she becomes the main character of TNG.

Said it better than I. I do expect a few things to be sprinkled in though. Dont know what, but he usually does.

I seriously doubt Serwa will be dead -- unless TUC was the final installment of the series, then killing her off now feels like a huge waste of the character, which is almost certainly why RSB left it ambiguous. I also think Serwa still being alive would be interesting simply because I think she's the only one who WOULDN'T instantly believe that Kellhus is actually the No-God. She was clearly the one who knew the most of her father's true plans for the Great Ordeal (up to and including the Proyas betrayal), so I could see a lot of dramatic tension being created in whatever sort of counter-force is assembled based purely on that.
However, discounting Serwa, I do think Achamian is probably the most powerful sorceror in Earwa.
Honestly I think this is the point wherein Achamian's characterization will deviate the most from its status quo in the series thus far. He is now, really for the first time, completely "in his element", even if he didn't realize it to be such. The No-God walks -- Seswatha won't stand idle.

I agree 100%. Everyone point to Akka's chracter/attitude and assumes that's who he'll be in TUC. Just over the course of TAE, Akka has transform to be a more dominate, decisive character. Now, I only expect that to grow from here on out. I dont expect to see the meek, doubtful and unconfident Akka from early in the series. What he's seen, be coming a father, Kellhus no longer there to worry over and the Apocalypse is what he was born for. More than any other Mandati. I have a cool new theory I've been working on, regarding the last bit. When I take time to put it together and to post it, I will. I really think you guys will enjoy it. :) hopefully
Wilshire:
If Serwa isn't dead, she better be declared Not Dead at the start, or in some manner that's not supposed to be a surprise-twist. You are right though, her death seems disappointing given the time spent creating her.
