Stephen R Donaldson's books are some of my favorite, and I'd never turn down a Joe Abercrombie (although, really I think he's gone downhill since The First Law).  I enjoyed some of the earlier Malazan books, but ultimately fell out of love with the series.  I read the Wheel of Time and dug it, actually thought Sanderson's stuff at the end was an improvement over Robert Jordan's later work.  I like Sanderson's current series, but never could get into his superhero stuff.

In general, I'm generally a sucker for dark fantasy stuff.

The 'What Has Gone Before' sections are usually enough, but I'm super invested in these books so I like the complete read throughs.

Alright, overall thoughts: [non spoilery for anything specific in book, but any discussion of pacing, etc. will yield pseudo spoilers if you read into em.  Read at own risk]

1: Stylistically this is most similar to TTT.  We are finally getting to the fireworks factory.
2: It is RSB at his Bakker-est, if that makes any sense.  If you dug the other books in spite of the Bakkerisms, this will be rough for you.  If you dug them FOR his particular quirks, then this is right up your alley.
3: This is now my favorite Bakker book, previously TWP was the one I liked most.
4: Be careful about spoilers.  There are a lot of twists and turns in the plot that are amazing when they happen with no warnings.

In terms of being angelic, Mimara is the only one we've seen ever described as being holy, right?

Kellhus undergoes the Inverse Fire, or whatever the ritual is that grants the Consult their visions of damnation.  He is undaunted, there is a head on a pole behind him.

Feels like we are going to get a 'Star Wars' kind of ending, with a big army battle (outside Golglutterath), while much more personal stuff goes down on the inside.

Random hunch: Kellhus is going to experience the Inverse Fire that the Consult use to initiate them with the experience of damnation.

To me, this is the central question of The Great Ordeal.

Why does WLW's destiny get broken by Kelmomas?

We know how WLW's destiny works in general.  The Gods are timeless.  Everything is one, in every respect, as Koringhus says.  The Gods don't just watch out of every eye, they do so all throughout time.  So Yatwer can perfectly aim WLW at Kellhus.

Similarly, it is pretty clear what saves Kellhus.  Kelmomas cries out, which makes him turn, and the world suddenly takes a path not forseen by Yatwer.

But...how can that be?  It isn't that Yatwer is IN the present, forseeing the future.  There is no present, past or future for beings of the Outside, right?  They do not "happen, all at once", as Psatma says.  Whatever ends up happening, Yatwer should be seeing it even as it does so (cue WLW seeing himself ahead of and behind himself, etc).

We know that the Hundred are blind to certain entities (sentience without soul and all.  They can't look out their eyes.)  But how does that work, exactly?

If a Skin Spy (or other entity the Gods are blind to) kills someone, what exactly happens there, in the God's eyes?  Do they just forsee the person dying with no cause?  Or do they forsee them living , and then become confused when they die?  That is, in the past, when the No God's soulless armies were destroying cities...did the Hundred not understand why the people were dying...or did they not even understand that they were dying ? How deep does the blindness run?

Like, if Yatwer and friends have a view of the whole timeline that is broken any time soulless entities intrude upon it...it should be gibberish by now.  Populated by the time-ghosts of those who weren't supposed to have died and their descendants.  So it seems like they have to be able to see at least the second order effects of the actions of things that they are blind to.

But if that's the case, then why didn't she see Kellhus reacting to Kelmomas's scream?  Kellhus is reacting to something that she can't see...but she should still see him, right? I mean, his whole reign is a reaction to things she can't see.  The Sranc/Inchoroi nuke is what prompted his flight to Momas, but she didn't have any trouble knowing he'd be there.

The only thing that makes sense, to me, is if Yatwer's blindness to Kelmomas (or, really, Samarmas.  WLW has no trouble interacting with Thelli, so it is clearly capable of dealing with Dunyain children in the general sense) is of a different kind than her blindness to Skin Spies.  But that seems absurdly contrived?  Two kinds of metaphysical blind spot?  No author would do that.  You couldn't rely on the reader to keep track.

So I must have gone off course somewhere.  Best guess remains that Samarmas muddles Kelmomas's POV enough that looking out his eyes doesn't work right, so Yatwer can account for him in a general sense (Thelli is going to his room to confront him, so WLW needs to go there...), but not in a specific, clutch situation.

She looked upon him with the Judging eye.  In the same way that she could see Galian's entire life story she was able to entirely comprehend Koringus.  The Judging Eye knows the truth of him entire and in real time, rather than the Dunyain technique of seeing people as a series of competing fractions.

It's the same thing that Kellhus is mimicing when he is seducing Esmenet/the Holy War, and he says peoples thoughts as they say them.  They have an impression that they look out his eyes.  That everyone is the same person.  The Judging Eye is actually capable of that.
