Thankfully a much lighter book than [b:Teckla|133466|Teckla (Vlad Taltos, #3)|Steven Brust|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1357479420s/133466.jpg|803245] in both tone and subject matter. Taking us way back to the beginnings of Vlad's career, we get to see how he met almost all of the important people in his life, as well as how he picked up a number of his habits and prejudices. So far this has been my favorite of the series.

It was strange going between flashbacks and current time. While the current plot line was good, it was odd interspersed between the flashbacks. Not sure I want to read the next one. Narration was well done however!

The series is starting to hook me in. I like when that happens.
