I just finished the first book of The Prince of Nothing series. I wish I would have known about Bakker sooner. Fantastic stuff.
Think of it this way: the later you discover an author, the more of their novels you can read without waiting over a year for them to publish a new one ;)
Yeah, just read the first trilogy all in a row, did the same thing last year with reading 8 Erikson books and 3 of his novellas within about 6 months - bliss!
I would like this comment more if it didn't sound something like Goodkind would say if he possessed poetic skills.
Hang on, maybe Scott based Kellhus on Goodkind?
:-O
