However, this depth never seems to bog the reader down, instead it further involves the reader in the saga of Severian. Wolfe takes the basic idea of Jack Vance's classic "The Dying Earth," the concept of an Earth far in the ...             The Orphan's Tales: In the Night Garden25 reviews Catherynne M.
