    Fourth in the series. It's an odd series--it's all out of chronological order. In fact, this one, if I'm not mistaken, takes place before any of the previous books in the series. Yet, if I'd read it before the others, I probably wouldn't have liked it.

    As it is, I liked it a little less, because the rapid bouncing back and forth between 3 timelines kept me from really getting involved in any of the stories. Still, since I'd already met Vlad and the other characters, I did find it interesting to find out how he met and hired his right-hand man, Kragar; how he met Morrolan and Aliera and Sethra Lavode; and what really happened in the Paths of the Dead.

    If I could live in one alternate reality, this is where I would live. The Dumas-like action and the verbal wit of the Vlad makes every world, every page a treat for mind and imagination. Steven Brust, please adopt me.

    Brust has a wickedly sharp sense of humor. You'll have to read the entire series several times over to catch everything.
    Also, Vlad is my hero.
