This is probably the best piece of fantasy that I have ever read.
Having said that, fantasy is not my genre, especially in its classical form of the sword and sorcery subgenre. Usually either the characters seem too cardboard for me, or I find the magic system inconsistent and used just to move the plot further. I have read authors, like Joe Abercrombie, who try to go outside the mould, but I think that K. J. Parker does it better. The characters are much more realistic and magic is minimal (or...more

Let Maps to Others is an adventure story, told in first person by a scholar (I don’t think we ever get his name) who is an expert on the writings of Aeneas Peregrinus. Aeneas, three hundred years prior, discovered and wrote about a prosperous country called Essecuivo. The location of this place was lost and has since become mythical until our main character goes on a journey to find Essecuivo, along with a duke who finances the expedition.

Another testament to a clever writers abiding ingenuity. Another instance of K J Parker defeating labels, I am curious, how would one categorize something like this historical fiction? fantasy with no fantastical elements at all? Or just a clever piece of fiction. I am inclined towards the last label more than the others...
Delighted by every scrape of K.J. Parker, and – of course – it is good.
So thrilled after my first K.J. Parker read. Can't wait for some more!
The best novella that I've read in 2012 so far.
