Bloom thinks its gonna be canon, so it's probably good.
I hope he'll like my book.

STOP SPAMMING REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

It's excellent. Peake, Eddison, and Wolfe are the patrician fantasy triumvirate. I think you'll know pretty quickly whether it's your thing or not.

What the hell are you trying to say?

Once you embark on this path, it will bring you ecstasy and sadness, tears of joy and tears of deepest sorrow. But no sadness can compare to reading that fragment of Titus Awake, those few sentences, and thinking of how Parkinson's disease destroyed the most brilliant creative mind of the last century.

You won't believe how good it is until you read it. Mervyn Peake was a genius.

The audiobook is especially well done. Simon Vance really brings the characters to life with his interpretations of their voices.

That sounds fantastic. The BBC series was mediocre

>Patrician-tier fantasy

A fantastic book but boy is it dense.

Nothing in it is particularly fantastic. No magic, no non-humans

I didn't find it dense along the lines of BOTNS but I still enjoyed it a lot. Didn't really care for Titus though since I thought he was a spoiled, whiny cunt and Steerpike did nothing wrong.

>kills half a dozen people
>did nothing wrong

It is absolutely patrician-tier fantasy, you are correct. Its also very funny.

I don't know who reads the audiobook(s) or if they do it well, but its written in a very arch "Dickensian grotesque" style that is arguably best appreciated when read out loud.

Right, since I'm an impulsive cunt I went ahead and bought the trilogy based on your anonymous recomendations.

Thanks, you guys are great!

How long have you been waiting to use that word?

>Words were shapes and sounds to him. He saw them, as if he were listening to an unknown language, in shapes.

Can vouch for this. I had trouble reading the text in a sufficiently majestic voice so I had my dog do most of it.
