"This book is a just as good as every other K.J. Parker I've read, and I think I've read them all. It's fantasy for people who don't want magic to ruin the realism, set in a society much like ancient Rome, with healthy dollops of political science and murder mystery. I learned something, no, I learned many things about how the world really works reading this."
David Farrar
