I loved it!
I did like the book very much. In fact I liked both of them very much. I think Idnn was a great character and was actualy somewhat glad we didn't spend too much time in Skai. I have finished it now but I won't start posting yet, as I am still new here and trying to get into the groove so to speak. Gene Wolfe impresses me most with his apparant compassion for his characters, and as a stylist I think he is still progressing... wonderful literature.
