Tiassa (2011) - Plot & Excerpts

9/10Actually, about 9.5/10. I couldn't quite give it a 10 because of the time jumps... the Vlad Taltos series' internal chronology does not follow the publication order of the books and so I always spend a bit of time deciding where in the overall story arc each book fits. And this book, unlike most of the others, covers more than one time period. Also, unlike the others, it has more than one narrator.I was happy to see Savn reappear in this episode, however briefly.And having not read the Khaavren Romances, this was my introduction to Captain/Brigadier Khaavren.I do wish the series was finished! Will be anxiously awaiting the next installment. Not a whole lot to say about this one. It's billed as a Vlad Taltos novel (apparently the 13th in the series), but it's actually more of a series of vignettes or episodes, all centering around a particular MacGuffin. Some of them only involve series protagonist Vlad tangentially at best. One is a crossover with Brust's other series in the same universe, a blatant love affair with the Dumas and the Musketeers. It's done in that sort of formal ornate language, too, which is a pretty jarring contrast to the blunt style of the rest of the Taltos series. There's a prologue and a sort of coda, each of which contribute slightly to the overall arc of the series, but the rest of it is mostly just "Stuff that happened that I'm telling you about now." Still pretty enjoyable, since I like Brust, but one of the weaker entries from the series, IMO.
