That final chapter was random. Otherwise, Dickinson ended book 3 on a settled note of personal peace with Baru while leaving many strands unsettled. Im not bullish that we’ll get a book 4 but I think Book 3 puts some personal closure on the Farrier and Hesychast methods. Both have clearly failed. But there’s effects to resolve. With Baru as Emperor, living in Falcrest, there’s political machinations to unearth.

All in all this has been a great and immersive trilogy of books. Great work Mr. Dickinson.

I really prefer Baru with Ulyu Xe. She allows Baru be free to be herself. She needs less sexual and emotional angst and more freedom. She’ll thrive in an open relationship with Xe.

Wait. Kindalana had a child in Falcrest? That no one in the Mbo knows about?? A Falcresti child? Or a child of Abdumasi? She was a teenager! Who fathered the child?

She’s negotiating with a madwoman. The Brain is INSANE! And this is good because we’re seeing bribery at her economic games. In Aurdwynn she succeeded because the people believed. Now, she’s dealing with a crazy. How do you win economic warfare when you’re trying to negotiate with a cult worshipper? Interesting.

The Cancrioth cult is full of crazy superstition. Their power and relevance will be in whether Baru can manipulate them to her aims. I'm not sure how possible that is, without her dooming herself to taking the cancer. Is her death worth her purpose? I'm not sure. That makes her a messiah and implies that after all her travails since, she is no different than Traitor Baru Cormorant.

I'm afraid Baru is going to take the Cancrioth, which is gross.
