Oh Jonas, my sweet boy. What a phenomenal and realized character arc to happen in just 150 pages or so.
Second entry, and more machinations but things start to make sense. That first chapter of "The Shadow of the Torturer" sure was confusing, wasn't it? Well, you'll start picking up why and how soon enough with this one. And what exactly does the Claw do, anyway? What's the point?
Wolfe brings up more questions than answers, but a lesser author would leave it at that. Instead, Wolfe's additional questions are more like expounding upon the initial question than anything brand new.
