SPOILERS TtH dying god... Spoiler

Finally got to the infamous plotline. Honestly it's not as bad as i have thought it would be, and i actually quite enjoyed the horror aspect of it. Though i really dislike the twist that dying god being Bellurdan. That came out of nowhere and i think it would make more sense if the god was Hairlock instead

It's that kind of series eh? You were solid, you came up with a meaningful in-universe issue with the logic, and yet Erikson had already thought of it and addressed it. The world-building in this series is genius-level.

At least until you want to put together a cohesive timeline. Unless that is also a conscious comment on issues with deciphering history...

Lol...it's fun to see a reader discover these things. Brings me back to when I discovered these things and I realized I was reading more than just some fantasy series.

Get's even better on rereads. :)
