Visions of Steven Brust

Tales of Vlad Taltos

Some of the most original fantasy I have read in years. I picked up Jhereg on the spur of the moment and the only regrets I have had since are the waits between new bo. An interesting world, with a very rich history, and fascinating characters. The fact that the main character is an assassin is icing on the cake.

The next Vlad novel, Issola, is scheduled as an April book from Tor.

Dragon

Vlad is back. If you are a fan, that is all that is needed. If you aren't a fan, why not? The newest book in the Vlad Taltos series is pretty much like the others. An involved, intricate plot, interesting characters, solid writing, and when it is all over, a desire to see more of the same. This chapter in Vlad's life is one of the earlier ones, dealing with the battle of Barrit's Tomb. While this answers some questions that have been posed in the earlier books, Steve also manages to hint at other things that you want to learn about. The only downside for the readers is the fact that this is the first Vlad book in hardcover. If that means more coming in the series though, it is worth it.

While these take place in the same world as the Vlad books, they are from a different period of time. Brokedown Palace also takes place in a different nation, but is still related intimately to Vlad's story. The latter two books are in the style of Dumas and the Three Musketeers and are a lot of fun to read.

Two wonderful books with unusual storylines, these are also unfortunately difficult to find. Cowboy Feng's is hard to describe, but is basically an interesting tale of a space-time hopping bar and its inhabitants.
