The Outsorcerer's Apprentice by Tom Holt

3.0

This was a fun read but I didn't realize until after I started that it was part of an already established world. I enjoyed seeing fantasy tropes taken to extremes and then sort of subverted into modern day economics. The wizard was set up to be the villain but you also kind of didn't mind when he succeeded because it all seemed so rational. It's a great satire on outsourcing and capitalism with a bit of sci-fan icing.
