Status Updates From Shadow & Claw

Good twist. I saw it coming, but it was presented as a great foil to check earlier in the story, giving more characterization to Severian and how he loves. For a while I grew bored with the story but it’s just now becoming interesting again.

I finished the first half and I can confidently say this is one of the worst but BEST books I’ve read. It’s def a difficult read but the reward is so beautiful.
