Location: UK		It was such an intricate story,Thomas. I completed the set last year. The further through I went the more careful I learned to be,because you never knew when some minor character or trifling event would turn out to be significant down the line. Severian himself is an amazing character,complex and mysterious.
But it does move slowly. I would be totally immersed in the story,and then surface to find I had only covered a dozen pages lol.
Also I was reading the massive 4 volume omnibus,beautifully made,high quality paper,and it weighed a ton!Not good with my arthritic fingers,so I could only do it in small sections Definitely a marathon rather than a sprint but a fascinating experience.
