In my mind, Sranc are kind of like... werewolves... lycan in the movie "Underworld". Not quite human, not quite nonhuman... a mix... kinda strange and wierd creatures. This would account for thier bloodlust/bloodthirst and thier basic complexion as I see it, plus thier superhuman abilities... fast, quick, deadly. view post
Kellhuss. By far. Hes interesting, mysterious, deceptive, honest all in one. hes everything a hero/villian needs. I just made it through page 169 of Warrior Prophet so its hard to say which he is yet... view post
Redaing what I have, he has his own agenda, for good or for bad.... he fights along with the Inrithi... we are given thier side of things... who can say which side is really good or bad... or even if there is such a thing. Seems to me that forcing your religion upon others isn't necessarily good either. There are a lot of hidden agendas left to be uncovered at the end of the "Darkness". We will just have to see. view post
I most closely relate it to lord of the Rings... it has that feeling. I really think the writing styles are quite similar also. If you look at Strider/Aragorn v. Kellhus... its almost a shoe in. Some of the city names... Asgilioch v. Osgilioth.... its just has the same feel. The forward to PoN was like a mini-Hobbit to me also... Thats just me though. view post
