A review by sonice
The Sword of the Lictor by Gene Wolfe

5.0

5.0 stars. I think I can say at this point that this series has been the most interesting, unforgettable, and confusing thing I have ever read. I mentioned this a little bit previously, but the confusing part is meant to be a plus; it's the kind of confusion that drives you to dig deeper and think harder. Of course the reputation for being a bit dizzying is well known, and also I believe it must have kept people from picking it up at all. Despite that, I'll be doing my best do get people I know to give it a shot, if only so that I can have other people to discuss it with. Because there is just SO much to discuss.

I could not possibly recommend this enough.
