A review by sade
The Healthy Dead by Steven Erikson

4.0

I'm still curious about what role Korbal Broach & Bauchelain play in the bigger picture or if they even play a bigger role. Are these stories on thes delectable duo just Erickson's way of showing his readers his wicked humour? i'm beginning to think so.

..."Desire for goodness Mister Reese, leads to earnestness. Earnestness in turn leads to sanctimonios self righteousness, which breeds intolerance, upon which harsh judgement quickly follows , yielding dire punishment, inflicting general terror and paranoia, eventually culminating in revolt, leading to chaos, then dissolution and thus the end of civilisation"

Lol look i'm convinced someone kept bugging Erikson to exercise more or add more vegetables to his food and he got annoyed and decided to write a tongue in cheek Korbal B & Bauchelain novel just to convey his feelings. I totally enjoyed the novella though, highly entertaining as all the novels in this itty bitty weird volume has been.
The book basically opens up in a place called Quaint where after the death of their previous King, the new king in power becomes obsessed with health. What follows is Erikson's trademark macabre humour which is top notch. Really enjoyed this novella.
