danielf 's review for:

Shadow & Claw by Gene Wolfe
5.0

Wolfe creates a fantasy world that seems so distant and unfamiliar at first and allows you to explore it along with the protagonist. You both get to discover parts of the world together but will be impacted differently by those discoveries. A wonderful book if you know what you are getting into. Some of the language and descriptions seem confusing at first but I think that the appendices at the end of the books really explain why those problems exist. I would suggest reading them first as not to be confused later.
