He is an absolute idiot to trust anything Agia says to him, and he seems to trust everything she says! And if she shows some leg? He’s practically her slave.

Get a pretty girl to say hello to him, and he’ll do just about anything. Yes, I get the whole concept of ending on a similar note as the start, but it was still weird. It’s going, it’s going, there’s a sort-of duel, Severian gets to do his job, it goes a little more, slows down a bit, and then BAM it ends. Shadow of the Torturer ends very abruptly.

The first half seemed a bit trying to get through – strange language, a world that doesn’t quite make sense, episodic stories, and then we get to the 2nd half of the story that goes much quicker.Īnd now for thoughts, questions, and spoilers! I didn’t realize I was reading through it so fast, I finished The Shadow of the Torturer (the first half of Shadow and Claw) last night.
