Le Château de Lord Valentin

Silverberg's universe feels so vivid and unique — I wonder what sparked his ideas for this whimsical yet complex setting.

The narrative had a gentle rhythm, but I found myself wondering if that was intentional to deepen character development or just a pacing choice.

The protagonist's evolution feels layered, and I'm curious whether others see it as a literal quest or a more metaphorical one about self-understanding.
