Saevus Corax Deals with the Dead
Saevus Corax Deals with the Dead | K. J. Parker
5 posts | 3 read | 2 to read
From one of the most original voices in fantasy comes a twisted tale of murder, betrayal, and battlefield salvage. There's no formal training for battlefield salvage. You just have to pick things up as you go along. Swords, armor, arrows - and the bodies, of course. Over the years, Saevus Corax has picked up a lot of things. Some of them have made him decent money, others have brought nothing but trouble. But it's a living, and somebody has to deal with the dead. Something else that Saevus has buried is his past. Unfortunately, he didn't quite succeed. For more from K. J.

I was sick this weekend and I blew through this whole series over a couple of days in bed. Very readable, enjoyed the ride. That being said KJ Parker does re-write the same characters over and over. It is a problem. If they could hold the attention of my foggy brain then that has to be a major plus point, but certainly there are a few ruts he's been digging into for twenty years now where I'm like oh we're doing this again. Soft pick.

LiteraryinLawrence Hope you feel better soon (but it‘s awesome you did lots of reading while sick)! 11h

So the series begins. But just who is Saevus Corax really?
I love love love Parker's black humor and his deeply flawed and twisty characters. Things are never quite what they seem in his books. So be ready for a surpising ride.

Travelling to Berlin. Day trip. Visiting the Pergamon Museum before it closes for renovations.

Current #ARC is one of those first person POV books Parker does so well.

I was doing so well... I was down to "only" 117 ARCs. Well, I reviewed and then requested and then...

Was just approved the three books above. So from #RushAThon start with 123 ARCs I'm currently at 129 ARCs. Guess my #ARCaDayAugust is a success.
