3.0 out of 5 stars Prince of Narcissists, Sep 10 2007
By Mike Perschon (Edmonton) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Thousandfold Thought (The Prince of Nothing, Book 3) (Paperback)
R. Scott Bakker's third installment in the Prince of Nothing series should have been called "The Thousand Self-Absorbed People", since almost all the characters are literal narcissists, or under the sway of one. While this "realist" approach to the fantasy epic felt fresh in the first two installments, I found the third nigh unreadable due to the preponderance of the character's selfish actions; is anyone besides Achamian pursuing a higher goal here? As for Kellhus, the ostensible protagonist of the series, the unbeatable Messiah motif gets old really fast. It's why Superman doesn't really work once the origin and initial revelation is unpacked. If you can't beat him, there's no tension, and no one cares. If I want Philosophy, I'll take a class. While the first book was incredible and the second really well written, the third is simply beating a dead horse.

3.0 out of 5 stars A well-written series that falls flat in the end..., Feb 6 2009
By Why Not (Toronto, ON, Can) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Thousandfold Thought (Mass Market Paperback)
I thoroughly enjoyed ploughing through Bakker's trilogy: the characters were strong, interesting and distinctive, the storyline was epic, compelling, intelligent and unique, the writing itself was of good quality...

I was truly looking forward to the end, to seeing how everything turned out for everyone involved! What was Bakker going to do with such a unique story?! How were his fascinating characters going to end up?!

And then ... when the end came near ... nothing but a surprisingly flat disappointment.

I did enjoy the trilogy for the most part - this is a refreshingly unique spin on fantasy, steeped in philosophy, quite original, an enjoyable read - but hopefully if you read the series you'll enjoy the ending (was there an ending?!) more than I did!

5.0 out of 5 stars A triumphant war...yet stained., Oct 21 2008
By Ali Siddiqui (Mississauga, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Thousandfold Thought (The Prince of Nothing, Book 3) (Paperback)
Scott Bakker, has finally brought the epic trilogy to its end. Through war, strife, heart-ache, numerous betrayals and revelations the characters have finally reached their goal. The Holy City of Shimeh. I loved this book, however, I have to say I was a bit disappointed by the rushed ending. Perhaps Scott was having to deal with a deadline or perhaps not...it maybe that he intends to produce a fourth book as the conclusion really does lend itself for explanation.

All the beloved characters had all of their "tracks" neatly tied but some left me wanting more, especially concerning my favourite character Achamian who is left desolate and alone once again. The ending certainly makes one feel absolute pity for him...I won't spoil it but it is a real heartrending scene. If anything the odd turns in the book are made up for by the awe inspiring Glossary in the back of the Paperback book. It really helps that this time instead of dividing names and places by their factions and allegiances as in the previous two books the glossary for the third is all alphabetical which makes it easier to go through.

I highly recommend this book to fans of Steven Erikson's Malazan books. Because Scott and Steven are going to revolutionize Canadian literature and I can't wait.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pleasant to read
The final installment of The Prince of Nothing leaves you with a sense of 'not wanting it to be over'. The entire series was such that it saddens me to have it end. Read more
