This is some of the purplest prose ever to come out of the last half of the 20th Century. It had words I had to look up, too. I loved Kahn's World Enough, and Time as a kid, but I had no idea there was a sequel (and Goodreads says there is another, too). These really feel like epic tales set in a Gamma World-like post-apocalypse. There are Neuromans, Centaurs, Vampires, a lot of librarians, and a pretty anti-climactic ending that stretches on. (It kind of surprises me that there's a sequel, actually.)
It took me almost a year to read this. Part of it was because it's paper and I do a lot more of my reading on my phone these days, but also it often took some work to wade through the florid language, which is also kind of distant, as if this is a historical account rather than a novel.
