I am going to take the HoC version, but does anyone have an explanation for the descrepancy.
Simple, SE changed his mind about Karsa when he wrote HoC. Or he forgot what he'd already said.
It's one of the two.
This isn't a simple conclusion to come to imo. -

Why did she leave and what was the decision Cotillion wanted her to make? This part was really frustrating cause it was so vague without any clarification ( or maybe I just missed it).
Basically, Apsalar feels like - given her situation - she has no other possible path in life than to be an assassin and/or tool of Cotillion. So she's living a pretty bad/violent/cruel life at the moment, and Crokus/Cutter has followed her into said life. But Apsalar feels like Crokus/Cutter can live a better life... but he won't as long as she's around. So she leaves in such a way that Crokus can't follow, hoping he'll stop being in love with her and live a better life.
I just finished the book and I had the exact same frustrating confusion with what happened with these two. I read the part where Crokus says something about balance to Cotillion then alludes to what happened with him and Apsalar and Cotillion basically agreed with him without actually saying out loud what he was referring to. I don't think Erikson does a good job with scenes like these. Honestly, I think he does a terrible job because I read this section multiple times and eventually just gave up and assumed I knew what he was talking about.
I appreciate this explanation. It makes sense after hearing it, but I was unable to infer any of this from what I read. -

I just finished the book and have no idea where you got this information from. Nothing even remotely close to this was mentioned.
I'm not upset at you, I'm just frustrated at how cryptic some of this gets.
You're replying, now in May 2023, to a post from 2017.
That is corrected in the same thread.
Twice.
As for cryptic, are you referring to the post, or the book, or something else entirely?
I'm referring to how cryptic the books are. I love them so far, but at the same time the leaps of faith I feel the author expects the reader to make at times are extreme and this idea Worry inferred is something I felt the desire to comment on whether right or wrong. -
