frasersimons 's review for:
Prosper's Demon
by K.J. Parker
The premise and setting were interesting but I just do not like self-aware, humorous POVs. The authorial voice is really weird for such a dark story and I always bounce off of books like these because they’re entirely at odds with, presumably, the point of the genre conventions and tropes they’re invoking. If you’ve seen my other reviews, you also know about 10% of the books I read that try to be funny actually land for me, so this is just a really bad pairing.
