About this listen

The Darkness that Comes Before, R. Scott Bakker's magnificent debut, drew thunderous acclaim from reviewers and fellow fantasy authors. Listeners were invited into a darkly threatening, thrillingly imaginative universe as fully realized as that of any in modern fantasy and introduced to one of the genre's great characters: the powerful warrior-philosopher Anasrimbor Kelhus, on whom the fate of a violently apocalyptic Holy War rests. Bakker's follow-up to The Darkness that Comes Before, The Warrior Prophet enticed readers further into the richly imagined world of myth, violence, and sorcery. The startling and far-reaching answers to these questions are brought into thrilling focus in The Thousandfold Thought, the conclusion to The Prince of Nothing trilogy.

Casting into question all the action that has taken place before, twisting listeners' intuitions in unforeseen directions, and remolding the fantasy genre to broaden the scope of intricacy and meaning, R. Scott Bakker has once again written a fantasy novel that defies all expectations and rewards the listener with an experience unlike any to be had in the canon of fantasy literature.

Love the series and truly original concept, disappointing the next instalment isn’t available in Australia

Great orator

Whilst most loose ends are tied up in their own deeply depressing, yet thematically pleasing ways, the answer to the bigger question at large is left ambiguous. Bakker once again displays his deep knowledge of philosophy and entices us with a story where there is no definitive line between good and evil. Although his characters are hard to like, their motivations still serve as interesting enough to follow along eagerly. I’m glad to have read this series and will always appreciated its originality and concept, yet I understand why it’s not for everyone

A conclusion that leaves you wanting more
