There was so much to enjoy in Embassytown: the Hosts, the Metaphors, the Festival of Lies, biorigging, Immer, the super-cerebral ending. Anyone come across anything equally juicy recently?

It's hard to pitch the series (4 books, but currently published in two volumes) without giving anything away, and part of the pleasure of the book is piecing together information as you go. But for more detail here's the article that out me onto it, after Wolfe's recent death: https://www.theringer.com/2019/4/25/18515675/gene-wolfe-science-fiction-author https://www.theringer.com/2019/4/25/18515675/gene-wolfe-scie...
