Outsorcerer's Apprentice (2014) - Plot & Excerpts

See that girl with the cloak and basket? She doesn't need a woodchopper to kill the wolf--she can handle it on her own. And Prince Florizel?--He really doesn't come from around here. He doesn't even know that there's something repulsive about food with a hole in the middle! There's the knight who wonders why there are so many dragons around, the goblin king who decides to make peace with the dwarves, although he really doesn't like the idea, an embarrassing unicorn, some irritating elves, a lawyer, a wizard, and a feeble old man with an ever-hungry nephew. You'll never begin to guess what happens, but there's a lot in it about macroeconomics. Delightful. I think that this is much better than the other doughnut series books. I think perhaps that's due to the presence of plenty of elves and goblins, which Tom Holt always does well. I think perhaps in the last couple, he's veered off into some sci-fi stuff that hasn't always worked, but here he's close to something approaching his best. There's a bit of confusing stuff at the end, but for the most part it's a great story that works well.
