The Shadow of the Torturer

An excellent narrative told with some of the sharpest prose I have ever read and an impressive, total commitment to the first-person perspective which pays dividends investing the reader in solving a literary puzzle which will take the following three main books to even attempt at piecing together. Wolfe was a truly exceptional sort of wordsmith and I eagerly await my eventual second reading of this great work which will no doubt grow in my estimation over time.
