“Amazing.”

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. ”
