Review of The Folding Knife by K. J. Parker
The Folding Knife is a stand alone novel by K. J. Parker, although it is supposed to be set in the same world as some of the author’s other works. K. J. Parker has also written the Engineer trilogy, the Fencer trilogy, the Scavenger trilogy, The Company, and The Hammer (which just came out earlier this month).

Sorry for the quiet week. I have been working on a couple of posts, but I wasn’t satisfied enough with them to post them yet.
