Title: If you ever forget how much everyone reveres Kellhus, don't worry, Bakker will remind you on the next page
Product review: Imagine you're reading the Lord of the Rings. You get to the battle of Pellenor Fields, you see a Ringwraith killed and a huge army of Sauron's minions destroyed. Then imagine that instead of finishing the book, doing things like, you know, DESTROYING SAURON, Tolkien just held a coronation for Aragorn and ended it at that, with the fate of Middle-Earth still up for grabs. That would be this book.This trilogy could have been done in 1 1/2 - 2 volumes. Which would have been great, because it would have left room for the story to actually have an ending. But instead we have three bloated texts full of revelations and re-revelations of Kellhus' awesomeness, accompanied by descriptions of battles that somehow end up being dry and utterly boring. I'm giving two stars because Bakker has quite a way with word, but he has to learn when to stop using them and start advancing his plot.
