A review by ninetalevixen
A Practical Guide to Conquering the World by K.J. Parker
Did not finish book. Stopped at 18%.
I received an advance review copy from Orbit Books through Netgalley; all opinions are my own and honest.
The premise is really interesting, particularly the emphasis on translation, language, and culture. But I tend to have some trouble with satire in general (a classic case of "it's not the book, it's me"), and with this book I'm also having some trouble with the humor and the main character's somewhat abrasive personality.
