Je le craignais et cela s'est malheureusement confirmé : cette saga n'est pas à la hauteur de ce que j'en attendais. J'ai lu ce quatrième volume en espérant que la fin justifie les heures passées à lire tout cela, mais cet espoir est resté vain. Une saga intéressante, mais sans plus.
Book 4 of Wolfe's 'Book of the New Sun' series
What a crazy ride this was. Gene Wolfe started out with a bonkers story and accelerated to the end. It's the same fantasy world all the way through but the SciFi element increases through book 4.
Although the series is split into four novels, and sold as two books, it's one story and these days would probably be edited down a bit and sold as one book.
