Sure I’m almost done. But I’m not sure I want it to end. But damn, Wolfe.

Friends, I’m just really digging this book. Wolfe essentially writes an ensemble cast (unlike Book of the New Sun or the Fifth Head of Cerberus). It still maintains Wolfe’s style of dropping breadcrumbs to something more expansive and awe striking than can be grasped on a first read. But it’s less convoluted in that regard than his other works. It’s much more straight space opera.

That spoiler I talked about from the GoodReads pitch just showed up on page 439. 439. That was the reveal. Woulda been great. 🙄

Don’t read GoodReads “dust jacket” pitch. I’m 69% through, read their description for the first time, and definitely had something spoiled. Y’all just need to let Wolfe’s writing be the slow burning, sometimes incomprehensible adventure that it is.

Screw you, GoodReads.
