Hold the fuck up. Lemme process this shit. . . what huh bro fucking his grandma???? Was it more dense than I imagine or was I making it more dense by trying to understand things that needed different context
>>25250257I won't click to see the spoiler, but I have 60 pages left from Citadel and can confirm I am in fact shitting myself with every new chapter.
>>25250257I beg you not to read Urth. It's really terrible and kind of ruins the series in retrospective.
>>25250683>I beg you not to read Urth. It's really terrible and kind of ruins the series in retrospective.how do you mean what do you mean? It's been described to me as a big lore dump rather than an actual story.
>>25251241Don't listen to him. Just don't read it immediately after you finish Citadel. Wait like a month. Read another book or 2 in another genre or non fiction before you read Urth Of The New Sun.It's good. Just not amazing like BOTNS.
>>25251265I finished Long Sun recently. The series keeps getting better. The last 2 books are difficult to get through but it's worth it. The over all idea of what Long Sun is blows my mind. I've heard that Short Sun to some people is better than New Sun. Silk is certainly more likeable and relatable to me.
Sword of the Lichtor was bat shit insane and I loved it
>>25251291Yeah that's my favorite in the series."I would not keep that monument to superstition in my laboratory."The scene with the flying saucer hovering over a castle is so good.
>>25251274Short Sun is a masterpiece. Best of all three novels.
>>25250683Yeah, Wolfe didn't even want to write it. His publishers insisted, because they were midwits.
>>25251903At least he made Severian have sex with a cherubin and an angel in it. Hashtag worthit.
>>25251969It was worth it for necromancer.
