Put this in your glass and drink it.
Vlad Taltos is not your typical fantasy hero.He ain't no farm boywith a destiny to fulfill nor is he an apprentice to a mighty wizard blah,blah, blah.Vlad Taltos is an assassin and mob boss and most of the VladTaltos novels are told from his point of view.
Dragon is the eighth VladTaltos novel (but the second one chronologically).In this one, Vlad joinsthe military, fights in a famous battle and nearly gets killed a few times-- all in the name of revenge.There is no destiny here, no prophecy thatmust be filled, this novel is about simple revenge, greed and not sohonorable honor.
This is epic fantasy turned upside-down and spanked onit's bottom.And it is great!Steven Brust certainly puts the likes ofTerry Brooks and Robert Jordan to shame because Brust presents us with newand unique fantasy.It's epic fantasy with a sarcastic wit and veryfallible characters.
Hey, Dragon and all the Vlad Taltos novels are goodbooks.Pick 'em up.
