Jhereg by Steven Brust

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Assassin nonsense in a fantasy land where death is generally not final and humans are the minority.

Yeah, I know everyone loves these books, but did you love the first one? Because I thought this was inoffensive but also uninteresting, and there was this overbaked convolution to the whole thing that made me think I ought to be reading it out of the super sekrit writing notebooks of a high school kid who plays a lot of D&D. Not like there’s anything wrong with D&D, just, you know. Random reincarnation plotline wtf?

To be fair, this was my hurricane book, and yeah, my sense of humor was elsewhere for a few days there (apparently it runs on electricity, I didn’t know). But yeah. Not funny.

Very belatedly -- thanks. The things I tend to love about series fiction are the exact things you like about these books, so yeah, I'll probably pick up a few more of them someday.
