Picked up this trilogy the other day. Only 50 pages in and it

Better than BotNS desu

they need to make a Space Station 13 version of Gormenghast

I'm up to the point where the duke is talking to his medicine man about his son.

The wording confused me.

Is he really fucking ugly or are his eyes just purple?

The title is one of the best but I just can't see myself getting into it.

He is both really ugly and has purple eyes. That's how I read it.

What is BotNS?

So what are your opinions on my thoughts of it all being an allegory for Peake's mental state of mind? This would kind of explain why he never went past the books we were supposed too and the castle being in the condition it is in reflects Peake's crippling battle with dementia.

What do you mean by this?

It would make sense if it were an allegory for dementia.

I've only completed the first book; the ending was worth the build up, and the characterization pays off.

It's pure Gothic.

Bought the triology for my older sister this Christmas, she mostly reads fantasy so this will hopefully appeal to her.
