A review by ababoglo
The Book of Swords by George R.R. Martin, Robin Hobb
5.0
Quintessential KJ Parker. If you are not familiar with his writing (quick interjection: why not?!) - this is a perfect place to start. Intricate story, attention to detail, immersive despite its length - all rounded delight.
KJ Parker in my eyes is absolute 'master & commander' of the short form. His short stories and novellas (and anthologies with his stories/novellas) became a non-decision for me. It is a matter of how quickly I can get hold of them!
I really can't have enough of his short form writing (his trilogy series, on the other hand, I am less hot on; they are still good, mind you!)
