Saevus Corax Captures the Castle

Corax Book Two

By: K. J. Parker

Narrated by: Ben Onwukwe

FROM ONE OF THE MOST ORIGINAL VOICES IN FANTASY COMES A HEROIC TALE OF HONOR, FRIENDSHIP, AND BATTLEFIELD SALVAGE.

It's important to look after your crew when you're in the battlefield salvage business. It's stressful work at the best of times, and although your employees are unlikely to be happy it makes sense to keep them alive.

So when Saevus Corax finds himself having to capture a castle to stop his men from being killed, he has no choice but to give it a try. Needless to say, the conventional rules of siegecraft are unlikely to be followed.©2023 One Reluctant Lemming Co Ltd.

Good idea, bad writing

This book is the epitomy of : evil playthrough of rpg games, where you still end up making the sensible choice everytime.

The narrator exhaggerates the nasal aristo accent to the point where it would have beeb awfull in a 30 second bit. The choice to do it for a whole book is unhinged.

The sort of clever plots and schemes have gone completely off the rails.

Like why cant anyone just ask for directions instead of having to do a whole big deal out of getting a map. Its too dumb and low effort
