Listening to the second book of a series called "The Book of New Sun" by Gene Wolfe called "The Claw of the Conciliator"
The series is set in an unknown time and centers around an apprentice in the Torturers Guild who commits one of the gravest sins he could -- showing mercy to an inmate.
It's pretty dense and heady and does not hold your hand whatsoever, but it really isn't so bad to get through, especially with audio. Wolfe is a master. This series stands alongside LoTR for me as greatest scifi/fantasy ever.
One of my favourites and infintely rereadable.
I concur. Fantastic series.
