The Siege is one of modern fantasy most unique series, coming from one of the best authors out there, so of course I jumped on the latest (and probably last) installment.
I love KJ Parker's pseudo-Byzantine fantasy, and this short read was up to his excellent standard.
I've read the previous novel (Sixteen Ways to Defend a Walled City) just recently, and there was just no doubt I'd read this one as soon as it comes out.
