    A stunning disappointment...
  

*by C***D on Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2017*

Oof. To any fellow fans of medieval-fantasy series – with or without a side of grimdark – a word of advice: steer well clear of R. Scott Bakker’s shark-jumping train wreck of a septology. Despite interesting-to-amazing worldbuilding, a genuinely good and novel take on magic, the bones of a compelling story, and the impressive ability to occasionally layer *relevant* philosophical insight into the narrative in a way that enhances rather than detracts, this series gets progressively worse the further in you go. I’m normally reluctant to review any creative works, especially since the enjoyment of stuff like this is often hopelessly subjective, but my disappointment here was so great that I felt obligated.I was able to gloss over (if not ignore) some critical faults in the otherwise-enjoyable first three books due to the aforementioned strengths, but the last four volumes really double down on all the worst parts of the series – unnecessary and exaggerated gore, violence, sexual assault, sexism, misogyny, incoherent battle scenes, purple prose galore, and excessively indulgent info-dumps and pretentious philosophizing – all while bolting on a legitimately terrible and contrived ending that hinges on one of the worst, most insufferable characters of the entire series. This last book has caused me to reconsider my former willingness to recommend even the original trilogy to people.*SPOILERS*And to be clear here: I don’t mind plot twists, sudden reversals, or even “bad endings” where Team Evil ultimately prevails – or is at least not fully defeated – but that requires foreshadowing, thematic consistency, and sufficiently intelligible plotting so that it is a logical (even if not obvious) extension of *what came before.* That was not the case here.Also, when Bakker kept Kelmomas around even *after* he’s outed to everyone of note as a scheming, murderous little proto-tyrant, and then Esmenet, despite recognizing this, inexplicably gives him the means to escape captivity, I had a sinking suspicion that he was somehow going to have a much bigger role to play in the ending. Little did I know that he’d sink the entire endeavor single-handedly.Even if it’s true that Bakker is writing more books to “finish” this, whatever that means, I think I’m all tapped out. I’m curious in a “read the Wiki” sense, but no more, and even that's probably a sunk-cost thing.

    Slog of Slogs
  

*by J***Y on Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2019*

I sort of figured it would end the way that it did, and I am part of the minority that appreciates the way it ended. But beware, the last third of the book is an appendix.I am eager to see how the series could continue on after this, so here's to hoping that Bakker's publishers get their priorities straight and give the man more (and better) deals.This book lives up to the series’ given name of The Second Apocalypse. A lot of people are not happy with how this ends, or more specifically, the manner in which the ending Is achieved.All I can say is that, unlike GoT, which should have ended with Westeros covered in glaciers, this story had the resolve to end in spectacularly bleak fashion.This is also the same series that got me to stop reading mountains of fantasy work. After this, short of the morbid curiosity that inevitably will accompany the release of Winds of Winter, (or to a lesser extent Rothfuss’ Doors of Stone) there just isn’t really anything out there (in fantasy) that has the particular ingredients that this series has. Perhaps I’ve a predilection for desolate stories, but this is certainly the best fantasy series I have read.

    After the slog of slogs, utter disappointment.
  

*by H***5 on Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2018*

I read the entire series, only to find utter disappointment at the end of Book 7.  As others have stated, at times reading through this series was truly a slog of slogs.  But the world building and some of the characters were intriguing enough to keep prodding me along.Then I arrived at the end of the Unholy Consult, to the worst ending of any fantasy series I've ever read.  Only the fact I was reading a Kindle version on my Fire instead of a paper copy kept this book from launched across the room after I finished the last chapters.I've heard another series is planned to wrap this series up.  I really don't care.  I'm done with Mr. Bakker's series.
