A chapter-by-chapter spoiler intense deep dive into Gene Wolfe's "The Book of the New Sun" stewing in unhinged speculation.

Book of the New Sun is great because you’ll get two full pages of narration describing in vivid detail the scenery and then casually out of nowhere it’ll say something like “past those mountains is the home of Abaia, the slumbering beast from beyond the stars who will someday devour the world”

It’s funny going from heated rivalry where I could read 100 pages an hour to shadow of the torturer where it takes me half an hour to get through a 15 page chapter

With winter descending on America, it’s a good time to read or reread this book — especially for those in New York City.

They are closing the doors on my plane so it is time for me to begin reading the 2.84 chapters I owe. Discussion question: has time retained any meaning? #bskybc
@minormobius.bsky.social ok what’s our schedule for Urth do you think? Also #bskybc

I'll second that it really comes together in the latter two books, and it will recontextualize the first two in a satisfying way. if you like the setting tho check out the Dying Earth series by Jack Vance. botns was directly inspired by them and also they're really funny, esp the Cugel books

After over a year waiting for my hold on Shadow and Claw I've I've finished it with two hours to spare.
I didn't hate it. The furthest future setting grabs me; the only place I can think of seeing it is baked into some 40k lore.
I am not surprised that the wait list for book 2 is 90% shorter.

I forgot these were real after reading Book of the New Sun where they (or something very different but named the same) are just a common steed.

My last read of 2025. Quite lovely and strange. First Wolfe I've read that wasn't science fiction I think.
