Lyorn: A Vlad Taltos Novel | Steven Brust
2 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
All The World's A Happy Stage. Until the knives come out... Lyorn is the next adventure in Steven Brust’s bestselling Vlad Taltos series Another Opening...Another Cataclysm? Vlad Taltos is on the run. Again. This time from one of the most powerful forces in his world, the Left Hand, who are intent on ending his very lucrative career. Permanently. He finds a hidey-hole in a theatre where the players are putting on a show that was banned centuries ago...and is trying to be shut down by the House that once literally killed to keep it from being played. Vlad will take on a number of roles to save his own skin. And the skins of those he loves. And along the way, he might find a part that was tailor-made for him. One that he might not want...but was always his destiny. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

The Vlad Taltos Musical Episode (aka LYORN) is the perfect blend of fun songs, theatrical shenanigans, heavy plot stuff that builds on everything that happened to Vlad in the previous books, criminal endeavours, and commentary on what it means to stand up to tyranny.

I LOVED IT SO DAMNED MUCH.

I want everyone who likes fantasy to read it, but it‘s the penultimate book in the series so I want y‘all to read some of the others first. Okay? Okay.

I always like to have a hot drink on hand when I start a new Vlad Taltos novel, what with Vlad‘s klava obsession. Someday I‘ll look up the actual klava recipe (surely other fans have worked it out), but for now, Vietnamese coffee will do.

And the book is a DELIGHT. It‘s the Vlad Taltos Musical Episode, complete with theatre jokes! But there‘s also lots of heavy plot stuff! And commentary on Things! And cool continuity bits!

I‘m a happy reader.
