Gene Wolfe - Book of The New Sun (series)

Found this fancy sword image. Reminds me of the sword named "Terminus-Est" of the Severian from the order of "Seekers for Truth and Penitence" in the "Book of the New Sun" from the Gene Wolfe. A must read for a fantasy fan.

Great review of the whole series can be found here: http://www.inchoatus.com/Reviews/BookoftheNewSun,GeneWolfe.htm

Why You Should Read This

You cannot go on with your life claiming some affiliation with the community of science fiction and not have read New Sun. It is that important. Do not expect any tropes from prior novels to exist here… you are completely unprepared from your prior reading experience. For any enthusiast of Leo Tolstoy, Herman Melville, or other authors deeply concerned with the perception of the human mind—its capabilities, its subtleties, its place as an individual in vast community of minds—you will be enlightened by this book.
