    <body><![CDATA[<em>Soldier of Sidon</em> is among the most readable of Wolfe's books, though filled with his usual indirect intrigues.<br/><br/>Latro continues to forget at the end of each day and his adventures continue to end when he has filled in his scroll. Yet <em>Soldier of Sidon</em> ends better than the previous two books...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/34972780">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Gene Wolfe is one of my two favorite authors.  It is as much for his rewarding re-reads of his books as for his prose.  The Latro series have always been difficult for me.  I have a horrible sense for names and so when the narrator forgets people around him, those names become vitally important to u...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/17660359">more...</a>]]></body>

It was definitely a breezy and enjoyable read that was hard to put down.

It's one of a series, but stands alone, and it's an interesting view of ancient Africa through the eyes of a man with no memory.  I found it highly enjoyable and memorable.]]></body>
