I stumbled on to this series by chance. As a reader of complex sci/fi and fantasy, I enjoy deliving deep into a story, getting to know the characters, understanding their world, etc. The Prince of Nothing series offers that in spades.
The premise of a frictional world where varying types of magic are contained in insular 'schools' and not shared with other schools is interesting. Add to that the adaptation of a more recent religious fervor that condems magic as blasphemy, and you get a great frictional universe to run a story in. Set against a backdrop of a forgotten war from thousands of years ago against evil so black it can read like a horror story, you can feel the frustration of the single school that remembers the war (through nightly dreams in which the relive part of it) and tries to not only watch for the signs it will occur again, but tries to warn everyone of the potential. The characters are well developed and have all the strengths and weaknesses of real people. There is no clear cut 'good'. Instead the frailities and weaknesses of the characters involved help drive the book in ways you do not always expect. Warrior Prophet is the second book in the series. You should start with the first, as it will help you truly understand the individuals involved in the outstanding fantasy series.

The WarriorProphet Prince of Nothing RScott Bakker 9781841494098 Books Reviews

Bakker sets up the Holy War in "The Darkness That Comes Before" and "The Warrior Prophet" sees it come to fruition. I really enjoyed this book. In the first one, the anticipation builds and builds and Bakker does not disappoint when all the action starts. Not to say that there isn't any action in TDTCB, but as the characters and armies move to attack the Fanim in the TWP all the anticipation is paid off.

There are some good plot twists and there are answers to some of the questions that were asked in TDTCB. Although, more questions are thought of in TWP, which I'm sure will be answered in "The Thousandfold Thought".

This is fantasy at it's best. I highly recommend this book as a follow up to TDTCB.
There is something amazing about his world and aesthetic, its the individual characters and their continual psychological domination of sex that grew tiresome. Sex sell's, or sex is a deeper part of us and controls all our actions in some way i don't know what Bakkers purpose was to include it so often or how he does specifically with the characters. It just wasn't working for me I didn't believe the characters after a while.
Really, this title deserves four and a half stars, but I'm rounding down to make a stand against rating inflation. The Warrior Prophet is an incredible follow-up to Bakker's debut effort, The Darkness That Comes Before. Without question, this second book in the trilogy is better than the first, so if you find yourself getting bogged down in The Darkness, persevere! You've got a thought-provoking page-turner waiting for you on the other side. Finally, characters begin to acquire real depth; Bakker's imagined 'map' of The Darkness begins to seem quite like a world possessed of its own reality; and those pesky little made-up quotes that kick off each chapter seem more and more to be integrated into the story as the intellectual--and intellectually determinative--heritage of the characters, particularly Achamian.
This is my favorite novel. It's eloquent and wise and horrifying. It exposes suffering, humiliation, and pure human wanting like nothing else I've encountered. It is beautiful in its tragedy.

Devries is one of the elite narrators. There are none who could do a better job, and few who could perform as well.

Ever are men deceived.
Just like the first one, this is such a great book. Couldn't put it down, and it stayed on my thoughts all day.

Bakker is such a great writer. The characters are very well written and its easy to believe the realness of them. The story is great and keeps moving, doesn't lull or get slow. And the story takes off right from the beginning, which in my opinion can make or break a novel.

If you read the first one and liked it book two isn't going to let you down.
I really enjoyed this book, had a hard time putting it down. There's a bit of a slog about 2/3rds of the way through the book as the action changes pace for a bit, but the story advances during this section are worth the read, despite not moving at the breakneck pace of much of the rest of the story. I personally enjoyed this entry in the series far more than the first, which says a lot, because I really liked the first book.

The characters here are well-written, and each has their own personality. Some of the one-off characters are a bit odd in that they are often given context that you later discover was meaningless. The number of kings of such and such and lords of so and so is vast, and they are nearly all just faces with no real point to their inclusion but to flesh out the world. It's a cheat, but one I don't begrudge the other considering the depth and style with which the world is represented.
Definitely better than the first book, which wasnt bad but felt unfocused for the first half. Very interesting characters, though the only two women in the story aren’t used as wisely as they probably should have been. Do me a favor though, as you read this, picture Mads Mikkelsen as Cnaiür urs Skiötha and you won’t regret it.
