Join us as we journey deeper into the world of R. Scott Bakker's "The Judging Eye" in our latest episode. In this installment, we dissect chapters 9 through 13, unraveling the enigma of the White Luck Warrior and decoding the cryptic phrase 'a life forgotten.' Our discussion delves into the intricate themes of power dynamics, motherhood, and sexuality that permeate the series, examining the profound influence of gods on characters.

As we navigate the complex motivations and actions of the characters, themes of redemption, the darkness that precedes, and the insatiable desire for power emerge. We explore the parallels between different characters and their journeys, sharing our hopes and fears for their development, particularly for Sorweel.

Our conversation extends to the depths of belief and persuasion, as we unravel Sorweel's unwavering faith in Kellhus and delve into the mysterious rituals of the Yatwerians and the role of the Mandate Schoolmen. Alongside, we anticipate the unfolding dynamics of Kelmomas and Esmenet's relationship, resonating with the poignant themes of power, recognition, and betrayal threaded throughout the narrative.
