Issola by Steven Brust

5.0

I have read most of this series three or four times, but I think I’d only read Issola once before this reread. I remembered the major points and that’s about it. This reread, though, taught me I’d done myself a great disservice, because I absolutely loved this story. Not only has Vlad gotten himself into some ridiculously serious trouble, AGAIN, but it’s got the adventure and humor of his original stories. And the ending is both beautiful and heartbreaking. This is a turning point in the series for sure.
