The Nonman King cried words that sting:
"And now to me you must confess, for Death above you hovers."
Replied the Emissary, ever wary:
"We are the Race of Flesh. We are the Race of Lovers."

I really hope the next book is more focused on the Inchoroi, i am completely bored of all the other shit.

Well it is called "Unholy Consult".

So is there some solid, active place to discuss this series? The site you find through google is dead as shit.

There's a huge thread on the Westeros board for ASOIAF, but other than that, no.

That was actually too bad since Bakker was somewhat active on that board. Though, admittedly, he decreased his activity a lot before it collapsed.

But yeah, what >>2334386 said.

Fil-Falad, the Archcanyonite looked deep into Ezrapou the whoreape's soul. Seeing what she could not he girdled her with his philosophy, even as he unmanned her tribal husbandoid of the Notdunedain. She would be ever his even as he cast her asidewise.

I opened this thread ages ago and forgot to post.
Which particular series is this from? I googled the 'ballad of the Inchoroi' and I can't work out which it is (between 'prince of nothing' and 'aspect emperor').

>> No.2334865

>>2334739

>'prince of nothing' and 'aspect emperor'

Those are part of the same series called The Second Apocalypse.

Prince of Nothing is the first trilogy, Aspect-Emperor is the trilogy that continues the story. Only the last book of the Aspect-Emperor trilogy remains unpublished at this point.

thanks anon, much obliged.

I think it says a lot about 4chan that a person became interested in a series because of a quote from a character that belongs to a species that could only arise through millennia of unrestrained transhumanism/body modification directed by /d/

>>2334663
I don't check out /lit/ a lot since it's really fucking pretentious but does this happen every time something fantasy-ish is posted about?

Because this is way better than sage fagging and I might have to start coming here more if so.

>> No.2334989

>>2334979

Generally speaking, only ASoIaF and maybe some complete kiddie tier fantasy like Forgotten Realms books or Inheritance Cycle are ridiculed and "sage fagged".

Eh, I just like the verse. It intrigues me. Sadly I've got a backlog to get through so it'll have to wait.

It isn't a book of poetry...although I quite enjoy some of the prose. That little window does tell you a lot about one groups' psyche and how fucked up this world gets when you get deeper into it.

>> No.2335002

>>2335001
I didn't presume to think it was, I just like the verse in the OP.

>> No.2335006

Speaking of the verse in the OP, can somebody tell me why doggerel poetry is being classified as a Ballad?

Maybe somebody post the whole thing.

The old Nome King cried the words that sting and merry old words cried he:
"Girl, you know its true, baby, yes you do, my love is only you."
Replied the Emissary, ever balls a-hairy:
"You can trust in me, forever we will be, one and one makes we."
