Calde of the Long Sun

Abandoned about 60 pages before the ending. I liked the previous 2 books in this series, but this one dragged, and ultimately I couldn't connect with the characters anymore. These books are hard work - both their prose as Wolfe's tendency to be opaque about the story - and I didn't feel like investing the effort anymore.

Add to that the fact that the overall story has become clear by this point in the series - it's rather underwhelming compared to New Sun - and that killed the urge to explore this book and the final installment any further.

I'm hoping Wolfe's Soldier series and Wizard Night series will connect with me, as The Book Of The New Sun is one of my favorite literary experiences ever.
