  • Yeah, I’m reading Citadel next, checked out a two book volume from the library so I’m ready to go. Just got to ::: spoiler minor spoilers, opinion of Severian where he’s at the lake in the mountains and was a huge jerk upon arrival, got dosed with mushrooms, and is being taken to some castle. Maybe he’s just in a bad place after losing little Severian and being incredibly exhausted, but it’s becoming more apparent how disconnected he is from the average person on Urth :::



  • Close to halfway through Sword of the Lictor, book three of the new sun series. Really enjoying the weirdness of the setting. Tons of interesting characters and locations, the main plot moves kind of slowly while the main character gets side tracked or waylaid and those are some of the best parts, especially since they all become meaningful as it goes on.

    Realized by the end of the first book that it’s clearly a major influence for the Troika! tabletop role playing game, which made some of the more archaic terminology more familiar. Finally fully understand what an Alzabo is.
