My goodness this is really bad. Gene Wolfe has an extensive vocabulary, but is a terrible story teller and terrible misogynist. It's almost unreadable. There is almost no plot or political commentary. It's just a collection of non-sequitor scenes and empty characters in an internally inconsistent and incoherent world. How this collection was rated the second best fantasy series since Lord of the Rings baffles me.
