I read it this year. I enjoyed Shadow of the Torturer the most. Overall, the series was an enjoyable read, though there were many words I had to look up along the way.

A favorite between the ages of 18 and 24, and thereafter.

I liked it a whole lot, so much so I went back and read all of it a second time. Its pretty impressive how subtle Gene was about dropping hints about future plot points.

I read Shadow of the Torturer years ago and didn't really like it, mostly because of the protagonist. I intend to give it another shot at some point and try and finish the series because of how much praise it get but it isn't high on my priorities.

great book.

I thought this author was a joke. when did you guys start taking it seriously. I haven't been here in a while.

Death of Dr. Island is a legitimately great short story
