Ambitious and far reaching, this is a series that has set a lofty goal. Not the least because of the clear influence from sci fi giants like Dune and thé Book of the New Sun. The story is mostly set up and I wonder how much of the story is from an unrelible narrator like Severian…
We shall see! Lots to like but not exactly a ripping yarn.

is entertaining enough to keep me reading on, but the seemingly disconnected jumps between chapters can be a bit much sometimes. hopefully the later books are a little less disjointed.
