Críticas

This is not my favorite book in the Vlad Taltos series, but it does have a charm all its own. Here we meet Telnan, the newest (and only) recruit of Sethra Lavode's Army. Told through a meal at Valabars, each course a new chapter. Basically, this a book about how Vlad manages to get the left hand of Jhereg off his back.

As always, the writing is on par, but theres a bit too much chance in this story, and maybe that part of what be Dzur is about. Also bloodthirsty-ness,

Probably my least favorite of the books I have read. A lot of what made the first two wonderful was missing. Still enjoyed it.

At one time, many years ago, this was one of my favorite series. Then life got busy and I didn't like the last book as much and I left the series behind. I decided I wanted to give it one more chance.

I reread the first two books but realized I remembered the story enough to get on with it. I am glad I did. I liked this book a lot. I didn't love it but it had all the things I remember love about this series. Including a main character who is not always that likable. I will most certainly go onto the next book.… (mais)

This is a reread for me. Read it when it first came out. I don't remember why I ever stopped reading the series. Decided to give it a go. Glad I did. Still wonderful.
