Show by Steve

We've reached the end of The Prince of Nothing trilogy!Steve, Shawn, and Shobz return to discuss Chapters 16–17 of R. Scott Bakker's The Thousandfold Thought, bringing the first major chapter of our Second Apocalypse reread to a close.Kellhus confronts Moënghus, Cnaiür's tragic journey takes another devastating turn, and the true nature of the Thousandfold Thought begins to emerge.But the most memorable moment may belong to Achamian, whose rejection of Kellhus provides a powerful and emotionally satisfying conclusion to the trilogy.We explore the mysterious halos, Kellhus's visions, the No-God, the Outside, Maithanet's identity, Esmenet's choices, and the philosophical differences between Kellhus and his father.We also discuss why The Prince of Nothing feels less like a complete standalone trilogy and more like the opening movement of a much larger story.Has this reread changed our appreciation of Bakker's work? And what are we most excited to revisit in The Aspect-Emperor?⚠️ FULL SERIES SPOILERS for all seven published books.Next week: The Judging Eye, Chapters 1–4.The Slog continues!Page Chewing BlogPage Chewing ForumSupport Page Chewing on PatreonAffiliate Links that support the show:Audible Standard Free Trial: https://amzn.to/4z1iKnsAudible Standard Monthly Membership: https://amzn.to/3S6vaddKindle Unlimited Free Trial: https://amzn.to/4wqkYdDAmazon Prime Free Trial: https://amzn.to/3UptxI9Join Captivate.fmSend a message via SpeakPipe
