Francisco’s Reviews > The Shadow of the Torturer > Status Update

Finally got off loan from the library again. I still feel confused about how I'm supposed to feel about Severian. I see reviews saying how he isn't a reliable narrator, but I must be missing something huge to not just see him as just a sheltered child who knows very little? Like it hardly seems like he's intentionally malicious.

I'm starting to realize "sci-fi that reads like a fantasy novel" isn't a compliment 😴
