The third book of the series and this is probably the one that I most enjoyed so far because it was somewhat looser in its narration and storytelling and more confident in the story itself. Severian and Dorcas are now setting off on a kind of new adventure, having finally dispatched the previous quests, and we are seeing a kind of return or a turning back to the beginning as the story is looping back to where we began. I foolishly looked at the premise […]
