“The thoughts of all men arise from the darkness. If you are the movement of your soul, and the cause of that movement precedes you, then how could you ever call your thoughts your own? How could you be anything other than a slave to the darkness that comes before?”

Based.

What was Kellhus' endgame?

use the faith he's amassed to become a monstrous ciphrang and therefore finally a self-moving soul I guess. It's been 3 years since I read UA

But Bakker said he was actually trying to save the world, and only made the pact with Ajokli because he had to. What gives?

I'm very interested in Kellhus' tax policy myself. Or the Consult's.

I found this series to be mildly interesting but ultimately relied on the same tired “LE DARK POLITICAL FANTASY” which made GURMM such a meme. It has its moment, but fuck if it doesn’t pile on the grimderp for the hell of it. It felt like Bakker was trying to write the fantasy equivalent of Blood Meridian
