I just finished this. Is it worth rereading now or should I wait

It's not a "series" at all. It is a single novel, split into four or two volumes.
I've also never seen that cover.
They fucked it up, the illustrator didn't read it.
His chest is bare, he wears a cloak with a hood, a mask and the tip of the sword is sharp because it's a ceremonial executioners sword.

Is his chest bare? at least for most of the first volume it seemed like he was wearing full robes. I know he doesn't wear his mask for most of it either. BUT ok I gather you mean it's a whole rather than a book and it's sequels, and should continue to the next volume.

It is when he's performing at least, which would be almost everytime he wields the sword

ahhh, that's true. I guess I just don't picture Severian in the mask since he hasn't spent much time executing so far.

On another note, There's no way Tricycle wandered off, right? Severian sees Malrubius multiple times after his death, so I think he was either lying about seeing Tricycle after that night, or it was in his imagination.

kek. I'll admit I didn't understand much as regards Triskele, but just read on for now.

Finish the rest first. The only thing you could reasonably figure out now involves paying attention to chapter titles and noticing that one chapter name doesn't directly feature that character in an obvious way ... wolfe accretes meaning through symbolic repetition and inference in parallel - you havent had a chance to see the pattern yet.

I think you might have just created a new low-key Wolfe meme. Keep reading.
