dsrtao...a bunch of rereads, and then...
_Tiassa_, Steven Brust
This is the thirteenth book in the series about Vlad Taltos, a series in which publication order is not the same as internal chronological order. There are also the books ostensibly written as histories by Paarfi, which concern the earlier history of the same universe (planet, people, and indeed cities). The Paarfi tales are told with a stylized dialogue which is clearly Paarfi's idea of properly dramatic speech, and it annoys the hell out of some people.
Some parts of this book have been written in Paarfi's style. You have been warned.
Vlad does not appear as the wisecracking narrator for most of this book. You have been warned.
The book hops around to cover at least five different time periods in Vlad's life. You have been warned.
Nevertheless, it all ties together, answers a bunch of questions, is thematically whole, and sets up readers for something big to come.
If Brust sticks to his plan of writing one book for each of the seventeen Houses, he has four left. I'm looking forward to them.
