It has a distinct central protagonist (and a more likable one, on the whole), but he is not the narrator. The chapters are longer and fewer in number, making for a different reading rhythm.
There are quite a few points on which this Long Sun series differs from its predecessor. While I appreciate that this second series are supposedly set in a shared far-future continuity, there’s no intersection of plot, character, or setting with the five New Sun books. This volume containing Nightside the Long Sun and Lake of the Long Sun was my first reading in Gene Wolfe’s Solar Cycle beyond the Book of the New Sun (including its Urth). Hermetic Library Fellow T Polyphilus reviews Litany of the Long Sun by Gene Wolfe, the first half of The Book of the Long Sun.
