GET LOSE, YOU CAN'T COMPARE WITH MY POWERS

I think the second series also lacks economy of plotting a bit. The subplot about the embassy to the elves is cool and I really enjoy it, but it takes up a lot of space and in the end it accomplishes nothing of worth (not in in-universe terms, but like dramatically).
It's more relevant than anything that happened south of sakarpus. I didn't expect "kellhus wins" but like general battuta said - the unanswered questions are strange, especially when that doesn't match the trilogy. What did the judging eye do for the story, besides confirm the reality of damnation?

Kellhus, post-thousandfold thought: We're going to Nilnamesh, and Conriya, and Zeu-uum YAH

He did speak of a third duology or trilogy, even before the great ordeal came out. Said the name would be a spoiler. That doesn't mean he'll ever write or publish it but it's not like it came from nowhere, and it definitely was mentioned before the last book came out.
