A review by hazelsf
Evil for Evil by K.J. Parker
5.0
I liked the scenes in the perilous bog, the amusing observations about the joys of marriage, the introduction of Daurenja and the exploration of humans as necessary evil. I particularly liked the sequence where the Vadani are trying to figure out how to effectively execute prisoners, and another where Miel tries to figure out sewing.
Letter writing is given an importance in this book which is not really continued on in the next which I subsequently missed.
The female characters began to bug me because they are not engaging. I felt like the second half of the book lacked the intermittent humour I need to cope with such a bleak writing style.
