brain_wolf_poetry 's review for:
Soldier of the Mist
by Gene Wolfe
What a fascinating fantasy read. Wolfe really is a master at manipulating narrative. The use of “the unreliable narrator” here is exquisite. The main character cannot remember anything that happens more than about one full 24 hour cycle ago. This leads to all kinds of interesting scenarios that are often a puzzle for the reader and character alike.
Not to mention the huge swath of Roman/Greek culture and mythology we get reading this. There is so much ground covered in these pages and it can be hard to keep up without a reference point, but well worth the effort.
