It is exquisitely rare that you can know you are reading a wonderful book while you are still reading it. It is rarer still that you could want to get back to the ending of that book by reading it again from beginning to end and find yourself at a different ending with the same result. Wolfe crafted a worthy and stunning sequel to Soldier of Arete, and may very well have provided answers to questions we forgot, lost to the mists of the time we spent turning pages in awe of Latro’s journey. Sidon is especially remarkable for containing some of Wolfe’s most significant and powerful quotes. I already want to reread all of the Latro books, and I can’t thank Sidon enough for that. It’s that good.
