A review by napkins
The Outsorcerer's Apprentice by Tom Holt
3.0
I got this from the library because it looked light and funny and quick, and in those respects I was not disapponted.
However, nothing warned or prepared me for the fact that it was the third on a series, a fact I didn't know until I came to add it here, in fact.
It's technically fine to pick it up without reading the other two - from what I can tell, they take place on different parallel realities anyway - but there are many terms and short in-jokes that I'd shrugged off as just another part of the author's wink-knudge approach to humor.
There's really only one running joke that makes up the book, and it gets a little tired by the fourth iteration of it, but all I was looking for was a quick, light read for the laundromat, and it performed that function admirably.
