But that’s the best part. It’s like you don’t even want to be a breaker of horses and men.

Can we talk about The Unholy Consult?

>Thoughts
1. Did not expect Kellhus to get BTFO like that, but it was a nice twist.
2. The whole Kelmomas = No God thing caught me by surprise, even though it was foreshadowed.
3. Disappointed that Cnaiur got disintegrated. It was a manly as fuck death, but I still want him to come back.
4. The whole demonic pact with Ajokli needed to be foreshadowed more in the books (outside of the appendix).
5. Felt really, really bad for Aurax.

>Questions
1. Is Kellhus gone for good? A soul's power in the Outside specifically functions on Will to Power, so that could very well mean he becomes a lesser deity or ciphrang or whatever. We already know from previous books that he had been talking to his soul when he visited the Outside. It's even possible that he's one of the gods.
2. Who were the precursors of the Inchoroi? Was it future dunyain? Was the Ark a time machine, or were they literally just aliens from another world?
3. Will Dunyain fucking shits ever be removed?

Overall rating: 7/10, would have been a 9.5/10 had it been left intact with The Great Ordeal instead of being split into two books. The first eight or so chapters of the book sort of drag, but the ending more than made up for all that with the utterly insane shit going on.
