David Scrimshaw reviewed Saevus Corax Deals with the Dead by K. J. Parker (Corax Trilogy, #1)
A hero for all of us
5 stars
I loved this book.
Saevus Corvus has a blend of cleverness, selfishness, and self-preservation that makes for a fun protagonist.
The bureaucratic nature of his battlefield salvage business was very entertaining.
There are clues that this book is set in the same Roman empire inspired world as Parker's Siege series and his Prosper's Demon books, but probably in a different time.
I am eager to read the next Saevus Corvus book and any others that come our way.
