Any opinion on the audiobooks for this series? My books are in storage, considering trying an Audible reread.

This was a very good book and I can't wait to read TUC in 2017. Still fairly confused about a lot of the plot points but it wouldn't be The Second Apocalypse otherwise.

I think the series would be very filmable, the trouble would be finding anyone willing to fund the production of a story that can be summarized as "Jesus Christ but if he were a sociopath."

The second series is a lot less character-driven but the setting is ratcheted up in a big way.

Yeah the first trilogy especially has a fantastic narrator. The voices he gives each character are spot on, Cnaiur may be the highlight for me. Does a great job of parsing all the jumbled fantasy Middle Eastern names into something a lot more comprehensible too. Second series guy is somewhat inconsistent with pronounciatoons (Kelmomas' name gets pronounced about three different ways) but improves as it goes imo.

I think it's suggested a few times that Kellhus shifts himself or changes where he's standing to better take advantage of natural light and the perspective of others.

Well yeah by that point I think he's using sorcery in a more direct fashion. I just remember a few early scenes in Warrior-Prohpet told from Kellhus' point of view where he's aware of how the light is hitting him and takes advantage of it, the haloed hands could be a similar effect amplified by people believing he's a prohpet and looking for signs of it.

I haven't finished it yet, but I was under the impression that TUC was wrapping up this story arc but wasn't ever planned as the final book of the series.

PoN is better as an audiobook, not only because the narrator is great but also because it helps greatly to hear someone pronounce the alphabet soup names.

Yeah I enjoyed The Unholy Consult and think it's strange people are treating it like it's the definitive end to the story that makes all seven books pointless. Like I'm wondering what ending people were expecting from the second of three trilogies in "the second apocalypse" that they're upset they didn't get.
