>One thing I absolutely adored was Kell *insert hearteyes and all the praise in the entire universe* he is an enigmatic, beautiful MONK, devoid of emotion and driven by purpose and stubbornness. He exploits and kills everyone who gets in his way, master of manipulation and full time badass. What is Kells true purpose? Who knows... is he evil or will he be a hero? (secretly hope he is a villain and will conjure himself into a real person and marry hers truly). I’m certainly excited to find out everything about him. Such an intriguing character and a perfect example of grey.

He still got a journal article published, that's something. But yeah I'm sure he feels real bad about that dissertation.

That's why the end of TUC feels so definitive. Anything that comes after is like you say, uncharted territory. He's basically got to reinvent the entire series and create it anew in order to move forward. Fan theories like
>Reign in Kell
>Neon Genesis Xiuhanni
etc. are just pure speculation. If Bakker is going to write sequels, they need to add something deeply significant to what comes before.

Right now the end of TUC is basically his equivalent of his PhD thesis. It's the summation of his vision, his magnum opus as you say. Where does one go from there? ... Instead of just continuing the plot for crude entertainment purposes like a webnovel, he wants to write something that will stand the test of time. Even GRRM isn't under that kind of self-imposed pressure. But GRRM is a storyteller, whereas Bakker is an artist, and artists can be very sensitive. I can see why he's gone into Akka/Ted style isolation from the world.

All I hope is that he and his family are healthy and at peace.

I like Bakker's names. They sound strange, alien, and ancient, but at the same time seem to evoke our own world's history (as so much of his writing does).

Peace be upon you, Wolfe-fren.
