This is the story of how Vlad was tricked by Sethra and Kiera the Thief to help Morrolan get Kiera's soul and reunite it with her body - it involves Gods, Necromancers, and the paths of the dead. Alternately, this is the one where Vlad is introduced to Sethra Lavode, the Necromancer, and Morralan, Lord of Castle Black, both very scary, very powerful people.

As always, its fun, full of sparkling wit. its not IF Vlad saves the day, its HOW Vlad saves the day. If I got the order of books down correctly, this is the first novel that introduces the bigger world of Gods in this series. Highly recommended!… (més)

I was not a fan of the first two novels in this compendium, but then they get bogged down in plotting and a ton of characters with weird names that are easy to lose track of. In all of the novels, the hero, Vlad Taltos, pulls off some byzantine scheme to win the day. In the third novel, Brust does something different and it is more of a character study, with the amoral assassin coming to grips with who he is against the backdrop of a socialist uprising in the fantasy world. I am intrigued enough to want to pursue this world in the subsequent novels.… (més)

This one was a great read - using a McGuffin device, Vlad Taltos recounts the story of how he recieved the Silver Tiassa, It also involves a con of breaking the legitamacy of a tracing spell that merchants are using to track stolen money. It involves Kaavren, Captain of the Phoenix Guards, Devera doing Devera things, and Vlad, who tells the story to a mysterious Easterner.

Well written, very intricate, lots of parts, lots of dead ends, and generally a lot of fun to read. This one is probably in my favorite list of the Vlad Taltos Novels.… (més)

Never read Dzur on an empty stomach. The food descriptions will have you gnawing on the crusts of the book.
