The only thing I knew about this book was that it was made into an animated movie in the 80s that traumatized children. Now that I've read it, I have to say I'm well and truly awed by the storytelling. It's almost Tolkien for rabbits. Adams creates a ...more |

| One thing I really enjoy about the Taltos books is that Brust isn't afraid to mess around with his formula. This is the most unusual book in the series, I think. Instead of following Vlad's exploits, either through his eyes or someone else's, this bo...more | |

| This was the clunkiest Vlad novel since Yendi, possibly the clunkiest yet. OK, Yendi and Issola are the only Vlad novels I've thought were really clunky. Yendi started off riveting and then clunked, so it has the disappointment factor. Issola never r...more | |

| There's sort of richness to Vlad's perspective in this book that reminds me of Dragon, the last book where Brust backs up into Vlad's past. I wonder if there's something about the backward-facing books that bring out a bit more flourish to Brust's pr...more | |

| This is a step back up to the kind of romp I expect from Vlad. The conspiracy he's up against didn't quite stand up to too much scrutiny, but it was good enough to keep the action rolling. You can really see Vlad's growth as a person in Brust's writi...more | |
