Meh...saw it in the bookshop on the weekend. Maybe he should first write the end of the story he's busy with before gadding about with historical prequels...
Anyway, I'm re-reading Bakker, The Darkness That Comes Before.

I agree, but I'll take what I can get.

I have resolved not to read it until the main story is finished.
So...probably never.

About the same time I'll get around to reading those Esslemont Malazan books.

I just can't get into Esslemont. I know he influenced the main series, and I respect that, but his characters just don't have the same depth. Erikson will rip out your heart and serve it to you on a platter and you'll thank him and ask for more. That's tough to compete with.

Eh, they're different, but I like them both (mostly).
Anyway, on to The Warrior Prophet.

Bakker, The Judging Eye, book 1 of the Aspect-Emperor series.

As you know I loved this series. So different and dark. As much as I loved it I found it even more enjoyable upon a reread. Knowing the whole story gives the reader a different perspective on many things and the books really open up.
Are you finding any new insights through the reread?

Dark is right.
As for insights, well, my first potential one is in the Bakker thread a couple rows down...please add your thoughts.

Diverting. I'm not sure if it's very good, yet.

Well. Right. My expectations were not too high, since I'm no fan of SRD's Last Chrons. I sort of enjoyed his last two novellas, and
Seventh Decimate seems like a continuation, in a certain way.
Bifalt is still a problematic character to me, too stuck in his habits when e'one can see there are better choices to make.
It's a fast and easy read. Not too deep.
