I gave this book a try because of how praised it is in the sci-fi genre.
The introductory guild chapter were cool but the book is getting quite stale and I'm at the point where Severian and some bitch enter a magic garden.
Does it get better?
Yes, its get much better. It may seem like events happen a bit randomly, but there is a ton of payoff later in BotNS. It's a very intricate work that can't really be appreciated fully without reading to the end.
*it gets, oops
That guy looks like guts

The sequels are kinda shit tho

the sequels as in short sun and long sun? long sun is a bit mediocre but holy hell short sun is something else. almost as great as new sun.
You didn't like the lake of corpses, where Dorcas is revived? I found that to be one of the more powerful early sections of the book. The sense of wonder, and the power of the colors, is very strong in that section. Hildegrin also makes a strong impression.

>Does it get better?
Yes
Also yikes what a cover. Makes it look like YA trash, when itonly barely qualifies as such.
