A review by annashiv
Soldier of the Mist by Gene Wolfe

3.0

This is a pretty weird book. I love the concept and it was interesting and well played, but I struggled as I don't know much about Greek/Roman history or geography or even mythology. I feel it would have been easier and more interesting if I had been able to interpret the names of places and people. I managed a couple, but most I couldn't. Maybe I'm just stupid, but I wish the glossary in the back had been more clear and helpful in that sense.

Still, I liked Latro and Io, and enjoyed his adventures through an ever forgetful lense, but I won't be continuing I think.
