Honestly considering dropping Wolfe forever because of the ridiculous ending. Do the later books in the same universe justify it? Aside from a throwaway passage when Quetzal was introduced there was absolutely no foreshadowing.

What ridiculous ending? What Quetzel is? His nature is set up early, and reinforced often. There is the "owl" attack in the second book, with the writing on the wall four stories up. The obvious bits in his introduction. His zeal at sucking the poison out of that child. And that completely random part where he shows up in the middle of the revolution with a dead person in a shed. And Mucor not being able to see him. Quetzal is half intended as a set up for the sequel, but more its to show how warped the Whorl is, that the pope is literally a demon.The troubles with the Whorl started long ago, but they are compounded by the fact that Quetzel banned sacrificing children. There is irony in this, in that he disallowed it because he wanted more food, but all that extra bodies is what is over heating the Whorl.

Are you Marc?

No but he can show you all the foreshadowing and careful structure better than I can in a post. He posted that link in another sf thread a while ago.

Yes, it makes a lot more sense as the middle of a 7 part series than as the end of a tetralogy. Start reading On Blue's Waters now and if you are still booty bothered drop it, you dont deserve the Wolfe.
