A review by duffypratt
Agyar by Steven Brust
3.0
I really like Brust. This one played down some of the more common Brust elements. It's hard to go on and on about food and cooking when your narrator has a purely liquid diet, and a single liquid at that. And there wasn't much on drumming, or the Grateful Dead, and the Hungarian allusions were at a minimum. It still had more than its share of cleverness, and the main character was quite likable, for a vampire.
The story kind of sneaks up on you. For a while, I felt as though nothing was happening, and yet it was. And it built to an ending that I thought was completely satisfying. I didn't like this one as well as many of Brust's other books, and it was not the best vampire book I've ever read. But I'm glad I read it, and I think its worth it for anyone who likes Brust's way of doing things.
