A review by angus_mckeogh
The Claw of the Conciliator by Gene Wolfe

4.0

These books are just so strange at this point but gratifyingly entertaining. The mix of the ancient and that which exists in a world millions of years in the future is just fascinating. Picking out things that exist in current times is puzzling and sometimes confusing. Seeing the reveals of technology which is vastly advanced from the present is moreover puzzling and confusing. But on a whole it creates a uniquely plotted story and an extremely entertaining read. If I would’ve seen these books in store without a recommendation I would’ve chalked them up to pulp fantasy trash. Beyond that it’s hard to express how intricate these books are. I am super chuffed to have found another great author with a diverse and interesting bibliography.
