I'm the guy from the last thread. I just finished The Knight. I'm going to give it an 8 out of 10. I thought most of it was great. But like one of the anons in the last thread said, the ending felt like it came out of nowhere. It felt like there was a deadline trying to be met. It's like suddenly the book is just over and it's all wrapped up in 10 pages.
I'm reading Way of Kings before I read The Wizard.. I have to admit going from Gene Wolfes prose to Sandersoy it pretty hard. Sandersoy has no style.

So, just finished this
Anyone wanna tell me what they thought about it? I'm honestly not sure I'm gonna read The Wizard if it's like it's predecessor
I don't know, felt like it lacked a central focus and while I can enjoy a story that's more about a character and a world they explore and I do like Able's growth over the story it just feels like nothing actually HAPPENS in the story

Is this just Gene Wolfe's writing style or is this just one of his weaker works and the fantasy general chart lied to me?
