Volume Four of the Book of the New Sun.

Severian the Torturer continues his epic journey across the lands of Urth, a journey as fraught with peril as it is with wonder. Exiled from his guild he is an outcast, but his travels are woven with strange portents. The Claw of the Conciliator, relic of a prophet and promise of a new age, flames to life in his hands. He carries the great sword Terminus Est, the Line of Division. The dwellers in the deep waters offer him a kingdom under the seas. And he is hunted and driven by terrors from beyond Urth.

Now all his travels move him inexorably toward a grander fate, a destiny that he dare not refuse. For a devouring blackness gnaws at the heart of the Old Sun, and the fate of Urth rests in the return of the Conciliator, the New Sun long foretold.

I'm not entirely sure I'm any closer to understanding The Book of the New Sun after finishing it, but, on the other hand, maybe I am. Perhaps Wolfe's genius is leaving his readers unsure of what they know.(See my review of the full series here: http://examinedworlds.blogspot.com/20...)The more purely literary merits (of which there are plenty!) are better discussed by others (for instance: http://ultan.org.uk/review-botns/). I will say that Wolfe's prose can be beautiful even as it's veering

It is done.Not an easy road, as I was warned - but hell of a ride.This final installment starts off mildly enough, as we spend a considerable amount of time in a field hospital, listening to a bunch of entertaining but seemingly meaningless stories and fables. Then there's the war itself, seemingly building up to the exciting climax as we're finally caught up with the events and see what the whole fuss even was about. And then it gets weird. I find myself doubling back to realize what the hell

TO THE INTERNET TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED

After nearly 1,000 pages I finally completed the Book of the New Sun! Wait there's a coda book?

This 5-star rating is more for the series as a whole than for the single volume itself (its definitely very good, but I think I may still like The Sword of the Lictor better). There still remains of course the coda volume to the series , The Urth of the New Sun, which truly resolves many of the major issues that are still left open ended for both Severian and the planet Urth itself upon the conclusion of _Citadel_, but I have to admit that I can now more clearly see how volume four is in many

I could spend weeks trying to properly organize my thoughts on The Book of the New Sun, but they would still be fundamentally the same; it's the most well written, thought, and executed work of fiction I've ever had the pleasure of experiencing. It is immense in scope, grandiose in its quality, and in a single word, genius.I have no way of expressing the inhumane skill that Wolfe has to describe his world. I was completely dumbfounded every time I was able to solve the inner puzzle of some of
