It challenged me to finish this book. I think I disliked most of the characters most of the time & often I was confused as to what was going on, through no fault of the author but because I read too fast & don’t take books seriously enough. Once I slowed down & read between the lines, I enjoyed this objectively incredible book very much.

Shadow of the Torturer
Claw of the Conciliator
One half of the Book of the New Sun.
I loved parts of this. Others left me cold. I’m told I need to read the next two parts to understand it and then it reads much better on a second pass.
That’s a big ask.
I think this will sit on the shelf for a while and I’ll get around to finding and buying the second half in the future. But I’m not in a rush.

This book almost sent me into a existential crisis. It's written really well, but I'm just not in the right head space.
