“Saevus Corax Gets Away with Murder is the third and final book in this series. Saevus allows his sister to deftly manipulate him with unforeseen consequences. For Saevus he will do anything for familial love but Saevus's family is like no other and he is about to feel what it is like to be on the receiving end of betrayal, done in style.
Through this action, we see the fragility of Saevus's true personality. As for the ending, just wow, didn't see it coming and felt for Saevus. The complete soul-crushing impact of betrayal after betrayal on a person. We see how these events essentially rob Saevus of his humanity and love to become a lost and cynical shell of a man.
The worldbuilding is cleverly done, rich but not overwhelming, often told through small clever bits of Philosophy and history. Saevus remains his usual self, full of cynical sardonic humour. There is some grim violence, mixed with lighthearted adventure.
For me, Parker yet again delivers another masterful trilogy in style, writes like no one else, and gives unexpected endings.”

About K. J. Parker
K.J. Parker is a pseudonym for Tom Holt. He was born in London in 1961. At Oxford he studied bar billiards, ancient Greek agriculture and the care and feeding of small, temperamental Japanese motorcycle engines; interests which led him, perhaps inevitably, to qualify as a solicitor and emigrate to Somerset, where he specialized in death and taxes for seven years before going straight in 1995. He lives in Chard, Somerset, with his wife and daughter.
