A review by iamhere
Athyra, by Steven Brust

adventurous tense medium-paced

4.0

Shortly after arriving in a small Teckla farming town, a body is found dead in a cart, with an unknown cause of death. Vlad becomes the main suspect. With the help of a young Teckla boy, his sister and his Master physicker as well as the jhereg, Vlad escapes near death and faces against an old enemy. 

This was fun. I hope Savn is eventually cured and chooses to remain with Vlad henceforth. I wonder if the female jhereg is like this because of the stone Vlad is wearing or being separated from Cawti? Either way, the story was a fast read and was one of the better instalments in the series.
