Severian is so funny, “he’s an unreliable narrator!” and it’s just bc every woman he meets is gorgeous, naked, and wants to sleep with him sooooooo bad

Claw of the Conciliator done!! If only I wasn’t reading the entire series as a single book I would have finished this earlier instead of stopping literally 2 chapters before lol

Shadow of the Torturer is done! I’m glad that I’m reading this anthology as one large book, because I just found out last night that I was nearing the end of the ‘first book’, and it ends so abruptly I still didn’t believe it.

So far, I’m enthralled by this series. I have no idea what anything means, not much *really* happens, but the storytelling and writing style is so well done I can’t stop

This is the first time I’ve been fiending to read a book like, ever in my life, the worldbuilding and prose is borderline addictive what did Gene Wolfe put in this thing

I’m reading all 4 combined so the percentage is gonna be whack but why am I enjoying this so much I don’t even particularly like fantasy and I have no idea what any of this means but its somehow so captivating???
