I thought RTW was the best conclusion to a Gene Wolfe series that I have read. Yes I had problems, the same problems I have at the end of any Wolfe story. I don't know everything I want to know. Like what happens to Sinew and his Trivaguante wife. And other questions I've listed in other posts. But this is nothing new. And I also wasn't thrilled that Krait died, Fava died, Jahlee died, Horn and Sinew never could patch things up, etc., but who is to say the story would have been better if they hadn't. Also, I kind of like when a story is unpredictable and doesn't just do what I expect. It's rare to be surprised when so many stories are just rehashes of previous work. I just know I felt much more satisfied after reading RTW than I did after reading Citadel of the Autarch or Urth of the New Sun and Exiles of the Long Sun Dennis/Endy http://home.mindspring.com/~endymion9/index.htm *This is WHORL, for discussion of Gene Wolfe's Book of the Long Sun. ---
