The Book of the New Sun: Volume 2: Sword and Citadel (S.F. MASTERWORKS)

Sometimes, one arrives at a book knowing they’ll likely enjoy it, but totally unaware it’s going to be so captivating, interesting and conceptually brilliant!This book is all of that and so, so much more. I entreat you - for your own enjoyment, read it! And then: go and buy the second part.If, for whatever reason, you’re unsure, read the sample Amazon make available.

Thanks so much for this, it was delivered promptly and in great condition. I loved the first Volume and I'm very happy to have found this one :)

Already planing to read it again.

At times this book is awful and slow but then blows you away with wonderful writing. Worth the trouble.

This is a smart paperback edition of a classic Sci-fi fantasy series. Loved the book.

Excellent!

Great book!

To me all the books in Gene Wolfe's Solar Cycle ( The book of the New Sun, Long Sun, and Short Sun) are in similar vein to The Lord of the Rings, Gormenghast, The Chronicles of Amber; Massively ambitious fantasy books that when given the proper attention, fully reach their own potential. This is a fantastically written book, sharp descriptions and a clever narrative style (severian as a narrator is fallable, and thus leads to some interesting questions over his story-telling) and leave you wanting more and more.
