A review by joelevard
The Last Witness by K.J. Parker

5.0

If there is one thing you can be sure of when it comes to a KJ Parker novella, it's that it will stab you in the gut and twist the knife. They probably lose their effectiveness after a while but I don't think I have read enough of them yet. This one is built on a particularly strong conceit that allows for a perfectly logical and fair presentation of last-minute twists.

Also: still can't believe this guy is pun-lover Tom Holt.
