The Book of the Short Sun

[warlock]

Has anybody read these? Made up of 3 books, In Green's Jungles, On Blue's Waters, and Return to the Whorl, it picks up from where the Book of the Long Sun left off and shows the colonisation of Green and Blue by people from the Whorl, describes whether Patera Silk died or not, and what aliens the colonists found waiting for them.

I thought this was a great series, written in about 3 different time strands, and linking up with Book of the New Sun too, it's a must if you want to find out more about that universe

I didn't like this series as much the earlier two--the Book of the New Sun, and the Book of the Long Sun. In parts, it read as though Wolfe was being too clever, and deliberately obscuring the story for no good reason other than to annoy his readers.
