The Outsorcerer's Apprentice
The Outsorcerer's Apprentice | Tom Holt
7 posts | 6 read | 2 to read
A happy workforce, it is said, is a productive workforce. Mmmm. Try telling that to an army of belligerent goblins. Or the Big Bad Wolf. Or a professional dragons layer. Who is looking after their well-being? Who gives a damn about their intolerable working conditions, lack of adequate health insurance, and terrible coffee in the canteen? Thankfully, with access to an astonishingly diverse workforce and limitless natural resources, maximizing revenue and improving operating profit has never really been an issue for the one they call "the Wizard." Until now. Because now a perfectly good business model -- based on sound fiscal planning, entrepreneurial flair, and only one or two of the infinite parallel worlds that make up our universe -- is about to be disrupted by a young man not entirely aware of what's going on. There's also a slight risk that the fabric of reality will be torn to shreds. You really do have to be awfully careful with these things.

Quite a few dragons & wolves die. Now banking passwords make sense.

You can‘t have too many socks, and a sock, if used responsibly, is unlikely to strand you in an existential no-man‘s-land with no hope of escape.

A fellow booksellernerd told me about these the other day, so since I should really expand my reading to every good book in the bookstore I had to buy them both. Saffron is tapping at both of these, which to start with?

"We're off to sue the wizard."

You know that feeling when you saw something coming, but didn't realize what it was until too late? That's what this line was.

It's like if Jasper Fforde wrote The Big Short, based it in Fairytale Labs, and with a little help from Douglas Adams.
