Judge Out Of Books The Book of Jhereg (Vlad Taltos #1-3)

Although I am not sure I think reading the books in published order is necessarily the best way (losing track of who knows whom is a little frustrating), it isn't too bad here, and Jhereg starts off the series quite nicely. I enjoyed the intrigue and the different characterizations quite a bit. The second book already gave me warnings of "problem of the week" syndrome, where Vlad has to tackle some new and difficult challenge and do it before 400 pages is up, but I did like the fleshing out of

Jhereg: 4 starsYendi: 4 starsTeckla: 3.5 starsAmazing books. Amazing journey. Very memorable characters. Love Vlad and this world of dragons and dragon people and their layered politics. I can't wait to get started on the second omnibus.I have a thing about reading series in order, and it was with a lot of reluctance and much hand-wringing that I read this series out of chronological order. I had gotten almost the whole series in these omnibus editions that "organized" the books in publication

The first two novellas were ok. Fantasy assassin with intrigue story line. Not really fleshed out, leaving some strangely large gaps in the story telling, but amusing.The last novella, Teckla, destroyed the entire book. It was some bizarre political commentary. Not a problem in of itself, but I couldn't figure out what he was commenting on. Is it about communism? He is for it or against it? For a book about an assassin, it was strangely devoid of anything remotely interesting. After realizing I

Vladimir Taltos is a bit warped, but you might be too, if you grew up as the son of a self-hating human in Dragaera. It is an empire of sorcery and intrigue... for Dragaerans. For humans, it is mostly a world of drudgery and second or maybe even third-class citizenship. (The members of the House of Teckla, the serf-caste among the Dragaerans, might edge out most humans for second-class citizenship status.) Vlad has managed to come up in the world, though. And he's done it the only way a human

I did not expect this to be this good. I mean, Brust came highly recommended. Robin Hobb talked him up on her blog, and China Mieville mentioned favourably a story he co-wrote with Emma Bull(leftists sticking together). Still, I didn't expect what I got out of this book.I loved the fantasy take on the crime noir novel. I don't think I've ever read it done like this before, and it won me over immediately. It was pretty gritty, yet still very D&D, with all sorts of sentient magic swords,

Jhereg done. Lots of fun - even though the hero is the local sub-Boss of what passes for the Mob (and an assassin!) I really wanted him to win. Great stuffYendi done.Surprisingly, Yendi happens before Jhereg, but they still stand alone so it makes no matter. Here, I got a bit lost about how the Houses differ to each other: both in physical appearance and "style" (Dzur - warriors, Yendi - plotters, Dragon - army commanders? Jherg - Mafia!). But still, a good light hearted romp which I enjoyed.

This is a collection of three books. The first book was really good. There was some annoyance that so many things were unexplained, but overall it was a great read. The second book jumps backwards chronologically to try to explain a bunch of stuff in the first book and it works ok. It wasn't as interesting (prequels never are since you already know the outcome).The third had a weird sociopolitical plot that I guess made me think or something, but wasn't that interesting. The fight scenes were
