    i tried both Soldier of the Mist and Shadow of the Torturer, but wasn’t able to finish either of them. I was a big fan of Jack Vance’s Dying Earth books, which are in the same vein, supposedly, but the Wolfe books just seemed to drag on and on. Both authors have a cruel streak, I think, and if there’s something Catholic about Wolfe’s books, I missed it. Maybe I’ll give it another try.
