About this ebook

The Book of Jhereg and The Book of Taltos collected the first five novels of Steven Brust’s highly imaginative fantasy series that Locus praised as “entertaining and worth reading.” The Book of Athyra features books six and seven in the series—Athyra and Orca.

 

Vlad Taltos is a sorcerer and assassin without peer—as deadly at spell casting as he is with sword wielding. Accompanying him on his journeys are two leathery-winged jhereg who share a telepathic link with Vlad—and triple his chances against even the most powerful of enemies…

 

In Athyra, Vlad finds he’s ready to retire himself and his jhereg companions, but the biggest hitters of the House of the Jhereg have something else in mind. In Orca, Vlad must repay a debt to a boy who saved his life—even if it means breaking a financial scandal big enough to bring down the House of the Orca, and possibly the entire Empire…

This is a post-Cawti story which means we get emo, non-assassin Vlad. That's not a bad thing. Orca is a fine mystery, with a stunning reveal the end. Athyra is a bit more action oriented. Both stories are related via the introduction of Svan. If you, like me, were introduced to Brust with the Khaavren series, you may be somewhat disappointed in the workaday prose of the Vlad Taltos books. But you'll adapt and be sucked into his world of violence, snark, and smarm.. have fun!
