K. J. Parker: Saevus Corax Gets Away with Murder (Paperback, 2023, Orbit)

f you’re going to get ahead in the battlefield salvage business, you have to regard …

Fair ending to a fun trilogy

Saevus goes off to find a fabled treasure and definitely finds… something.

The final instalment of the Corax trilogy, and I didn’t enjoy it as much as the previous books. It’s somewhat less funny, a lot less fun, and has a little too much geography in it. I enjoy Saevus as a protagonist, but I do wish he had a better time of it now and then. The world truly does seem out to get him sometimes. Though not my favourite in the series, it’s a nice, solid ending to the trilogy.
