Is this the best book in the tetralogy? It's the most introverted, philosophic, and scenic of the four with the most lucid storytelling. Some if the passages are absolute poetry, and the action carries a style and air of seriousness that is lost in the turbulence of the other 3 books.

Tell me I'm wrong, this is the best thing Wolfe wrote.
