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.

Really clever way of introducing the unreliability of the narrator
