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

4.0

I liked the third installment of the Book of the New Sun infinitely more than the second. However, I don't know if that's because I enjoyed the story any more or because I had context. I harbored hope to learn more about the meeting of the witches that concluded the second book, but alas I'll have to wait until I finish the fourth to see if they make a reappearance. A lot happened here and Urth only increases itself in curiosity.
