Items related to The Thousandfold Thought: Book 3 of the Prince of Nothing:...
All opposition to the man once derided as the Prince of Nothing has vanished or been vanquished. Their leaders slain, the heathen Fanim have fled in disarray. One final march will bring the Holy War to the fabled city of Shimeh. But so very much has changed.
Anasurimbor Kellhus, the Warrior-Prophet, now leads the Men of the Tusk. The cuckolded sorcerer Achamian serves as his tutor, betraying his school to keep safe the man he believes can prevent the Second Apocalypse. The Scylvendi barbarian, Cnaiur, succumbs finally to madness. The Consult, sensing the endgame of millennia of planning, work frantically to prepare for the coming of the No-God.
The final reckoning is at hand. Faceless assassins will strike in the dead of night. Kings and Emperors will fall. The sorcerous Schools will be unleashed. And Anasurimbor Kellhus will at last confront his father and the dread revelation of the Thousandfold Thought.

Review:
Able to manipulate other people's emotions, secret master Anasurimbor Kellhus now leads a vast army towards its final battle, while his tutor, the sorcerer Drusas Achamian, mourns the loss of his ex-prostitute lover Esmenet to Kellhus, and the Scylvendi warrior Cnaiur urs Skiotha descends into jealous madness. Yep, you can tell high fantasy by its impossible names and apocalyptic themes. And few fantasies come more apocalyptic than R Scott Bakker's Prince of Nothing sequence, with its clashing civilisations, squabbling gods and monstrous assassins. The Darkness That Comes Before established Scott Bakker as an important voice, but was followed almost immediately by book two, The Warrior Prophet, which replaced plot with philosophising. Thousandfold Thought, the third and final novel in this sequence, is both shorter and better than the previous book. (THE GUARDIAN)
In the shattering climax to Canadian author Bakker's magnificent fantasy saga (after 2005's The Warrior-Prophet), the Holy War army has finally reached the gates of the holy city of Shimeh. The warrior-prophet, Anasūrimbor Kellhus, learns that the Thousa (PUBLISHERS WEEKLY)
The Thousandfold Thought concludes with a tour-de-force set piece in which Bakker cuts back and forth between the battle for Shimeh - which must count as among the greatest descriptions of sorcery in war ever recorded - and each of his main characters as they pursue their personal agendas in the midst of the general chaos, following paths that intersect and converge in a play of plot and subplot that is like the climactic movement of a symphony. Readers willl be grateful for the Encyclopedic Glossary, a nearly 100-page-long treasure trove of essential information about everyone and everything in The Prince of Nothing. An absorbing read in its own right, it's an indispensable reference guide for volumes past and still to come. (REALMS OF FANTASY)
