#BookReview: Making History by K. J. Parker My Review: There’s that old saying that goes, “Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it.” But there’s another old saying, that “History is written by the victors.” Which leads to some really interesting questions about what went into the making of the history that we’re supposed to learn so we don’t repeat it. Because that first quote sort of assumes that the history we’re learning is the truth, while the second one negates that quaint notion utterly.

A book cover of "Snow White and the Seven Samurai" by Tom Holt. The title is in large, bold, handwritten-style letters with "Tom Holt" at the top. Below the title is a sketch of a framed picture or mirror showing a stick figure of Snow White with long hair, holding what seems to be a samurai sword. Above the author’s name, there is a review quote from Rob Grant of The Guardian, reading: "uniquely twisted... cracking gags." The background is a pale, off-white colour.

3/20

Book cover: “The Eight Reindeer of the Apocalypse” by Tom Holt (Orbit, 2023)

A return to form and a return to office-political satire (supernatural law firms buggering everything up in the finely honed pursuit of self-interest). Holt’s prose rollicks along at a line-by-line, page-by-page level, fizzing by even while his characters wade through treacled cynicism. #TomHolt
