A review by jsmithborne
Academic Exercises by K.J. Parker

4.0

I really liked these short stories all set in the same world, connected loosely to the Studium. Lots of exploration of academics, power, relationships. Very male-centric--don't pick this up if you want lots of complex female characters. I didn't read the essays about weapons, armor, and castles (I think that's what they were about)--they were interesting for essays about war stuff, but not what I was shopping for, as it were.
