Review title: Wolfe's most penetrating character study
Product review: I had the chance to read all four volumes back-to-back. A long-time Gene Wolfe fan, I am glad I did: because what emerged was, I think, the finest character study I have found in twenty years of reading science fiction. Starting with Silk's real revelation from a real god, and ending on an unresolved note (like much of Wolfe!), the story gradually reveals Silk's character, of an ordinary man in extraordinary circumstances. Much is left unsaid; by doing so, Wolfe invites the reader to participate in assessing Silk the way his contemporaries would. At the end, the reader is left admiring a thoroughly good yet humanly flawed man coping with an especially ambiguous world, a character drawn as successfully as any in non-genre literature. The book has other complications, of religion and will and governance, but at the end, it is the character study which leaves the book stuck in my memory
