I remain indifferent to this "literary magician" whose work is "the classic stuff of sword and sorcery." More often than not, the author (or the narrator's) literary genius interfered with my enjoyment of the book and pissed me off. Severian, the first-person main character, at the end of this book says: "If you wish to travel no farther with me, reader, I cannot blame you. It is no easy road." Good luck, Severian, we are parting company.
