A review by angus_mckeogh
The Shadow of the Torturer by Gene Wolfe

4.0

If I wasn’t too stupid to actually figure out what ultimately was going on then I’d have probably added another star to this review. Despite that I loved the atmosphere and pacing that Wolfe created and the story was a perfect blend of science fiction and fantasy with commingled weirdness that made it really entertaining. I’ll definitely read the other books in the series and will hopefully suss out the ultimate narrative.
