Urth of The New Sun

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

I liked it pretty much. It complements the BOTNS perfectly. The writting style and pace is somewhat different, I can see some people not liking it as much as BOTNS, but I did like it quite much.

"I don't know if I'd say "required" but it is he only way to make sense of what went on in the first four books. Well, as much sense as anything ever makes. (Urth of the New SUn)" I am finding Urth harder than BOTN. Its writing style is perhaps easier to follow but it moves more into the metaphysics of the "Sun" universe, and as a person who is not so good at understanding such thingsit can be difficult. I would say this book is probably vital if your into understanding what happened in New Sun, though it is certainly a coda and BOTN is perfectly apt by itself. Whats the general consensus on Urth. Did those who have read it enjoy it?
