The Prince of Nothing #3: The Thousandfold Thought (2006 novel)

Written by R. Scott Bakker.


In the last two months, I've had the pleasure and horror of witnessing a year and a half in the life of Bakker's rich and twisted world. The clash of armies. The death of friends. The execution of enemies. The changing of beliefs. The manipulation of masses. The sorcery of concepts. Blood. Hope. Love. Rape. Famine. Faith. Pestilence.

The Prince of Nothing #2: The Warrior-Prophet (2004 novel)

Written by R. Scott Bakker.


The Holy War marches on.

Once again, I find my pathetic reviewing skills put to the test as I try to sum up this, the second in a truly astonishing trilogy of books.
