In this episode, the group wraps up their in-depth exploration of The Unholy Consult, the final book in R. Scott Bakker's The Second Apocalypse series. Together, they reflect on their overall impressions of the series, dissect the explosive ending, and discuss key revelations, including the Dunyain’s origins, the nature of the No-God, and Kellhus' possession.
The conversation also dives into fan-favorite atrocity tales, character fates, and the philosophical complexity of Bakker’s world, from free will and prophecy to the mark of sorcery and the meaning behind the head on the pole. They share theories, explore potential future storylines, and touch on the role of Mimara, the gods, and the enigmatic core at the heart of the No-God’s creation.
Join us for a comprehensive discussion on one of fantasy’s most thought-provoking series, as we celebrate its high points, critique its flaws, and speculate on what might come next. Don't miss this epic conclusion, and stay tuned for future deep dives into character arcs and more!
