Penric and the Bandit

3/5. A Penric novella, this one half outsider POV as Penric falls into the company of a man trying to rob him, but it’s a bit more complicated. I read this entire novella while cooking dinner* (crispy tofu and green beans in peanut dressing with smashed potatoes) and it was pleasant for that purpose. Slight, zero stakes in that way where there are stakes on the page, but absolutely none in a doylist sense. Comforting, is what I mean.

I do wonder where she’s going with this thing where Pen is not aging. Recompense for killing Miles so young….?

*Yes, I read audio at a very high speed
