My review of the excellent Saevus Corax #1, the first in the new trilogy by KJ Parker. This is the first trilogy of Parker's that I've read, and I was pleasantly surprised, if not familiar with some of the more common elements in Parker's works.
Are wars ever beneficial? Should banks ever grow more powerful than sovereign nations? Why do those in power think that everyone below them thinks just like them? What would you do to have a life that was truly your own? And, perhaps most importantl, is Saevus a graverobbing vulture or an opportunistic small-business owner?
Thank you to KJ Parker, Netgalley, and Orbit for the advanced copy!

Allen can sell a used can of paint to me with his passionate reviews and even if the book is a “meh” he sells the good points that might entice me to buying it. I’ve bought and read three authors due to him and have a crap load of other books in my TBR shelf that he’s recommended. Thanks Allen!

I am blaming Philip for setting the trend of these ridiculously quick release schedules 🤣 No but really, great review!! I like both first and third person POV, so that shouldn't be an issue for me. I loved those little quotes you read, Parker is a brilliant author!!

I've been so keen on picking up KJ Parker for a while, and this one sounds so fascinating! Do you think it might be a good place to start with him? His prose just sounds so... Clever and thoughtful--reminds me of how I felt about Bancroft in the Hexologists, which I ended up *loving*, largely because his turn of phrase is just so smart!! I'm sad not many people love a more cerebral writing style, but I'm finding it works really well for me. I'm glad you bring them to light, because honestly I don't think I'd ever have run across them otherwise 😬

Yes, I think you'll love it then. Parker has a much bleaker outlook than does Bancroft but I can't imagine you liking one's prose and not the other!

So, Allan, I take it that you have read the novellas that are in the new collection named Under My Skin. Would you recommend that collection? I have already read the 16 Ways novel and loved it.

I loved Relics from Under My Skin. Academic Exercises is my favorite of his short collections.
