I used to enjoy these quite a bit, but they’re not clicking with me now. Couldn’t get into it.

A run-of-the-mill Taltos story: neither exceptional nor horrible

I didn't particularly care for the last two in this series. Which is bad since I enjoyed them very much up until that point. But I had bought the last two, along with Dragon and Isola in the omnibus editions, so I had it lying around. It's near the end of the series, so I feel like I've got to finish it. So, I gave Dragon a shot.

Guys. I kept looking ahead to mark the end of the chapter to kind of urge myself on. The constant change of time period confused the hell out of me. I don't really like battle scenes. You'd think that would be a detriment since most of this takes place in a war, but the actual battle scenes were, surprisingly, very short. I was just BORED with the one. SO MUCH. I'm putting it back on the shelf. Maybe I'll check out Isola at some point in the future, but it won't be any time soon. Blah.

Taking a step back in Vlad's history, this story weaves 3 separate timelines together to flesh out that time that Vlad Taltos went to war. It was better than i was expecting a war/military-based story to be.
