The Book of Jhereg by Steven Brust
5.0
Jhereg - 7/7/13 - Why does most of the good fantasy seem to revolve around assassins? I enjoyed this one a lot. I own The Book of Jhereg, which has the first three books in the Vlad Taltos series. I immediately jumped right into the story. I liked the characters and the world. I am a bit confused as to how their government and cycles work (and I'm 1/3 into the third book and it's not getting any clearer), but that's fairly minor compared to how much I'm enjoying it.
Yendi - 7/8/13 - I read this in The Book of Jhereg, which I own. This was a great story too, though for the title, it felt like there wasn't enough actually ABOUT the Yendi. They were rarely even mentioned until the last third or so of the book. Still, I enjoyed this one a lot.
Teckla - 7/10/13 - I didn't quite enjoy this one as much as the first two. I found Kelly to be supremely annoying. Cawti was rather annoying too. Even with all that, I couldn't quite get behind Vlad either. Still, overall, I did enjoy it.
