Autarch lost in glare of the new sun: How can I review a novel I've never received?

The payoff fourth installment in Gene Wolfe's epic Book of the New Sun series does not disappoint. Recurring characters check in, plot lines come full circle, Severian's increasingly layered character reaches the fullness of its complexity, and even as many doors are carefully shut, even bigger and more mind-blowing doors are opened wide.

This series is so rich, deep and profound that it demands an almost immediate re-reading. It's amazing stuff. ( )

The Autarch, as the name suggests, is a ruler. Despite all Severian'swanderings, meanderings, derelictions of duty, and adventures, it seems that the Autarch sees him as future leadership material. His final fate is to be decided in this fourth book.
