This was my first K. J. Parker book and I really enjoyed reading it till the very end. It sets this wry dark tone right from the beginning while also being humorous in a cynical, sarcastic way. Got a chuckle out of me several times and it was engaging for the most part. The ending didn't do much for me considering the build-up to it, but it still fits well enough as I think the book was more about making you consider various philosophical and ethical quandaries over what happens to the characters in it. I wouldn't recommend this book if you are overly religious however, as it questions the morality of religion and often makes fun of it.
