rachela1eaf's review against another edition
3.0
Not my favorite Vlad Taltos book, but I did have some fun. The back-and-forth really didn't work for me in this book--in the first half, I didn't have the context to care about the flash-forwards, and in the second half, I was too concerned about the tension in the future to care about what was happening in the flash-backs. But I did like seeing Vlad's relationships develop with some new characters, and his characteristic snark made up for a lot of the boring bits.

A more complicated framing story than most and plenty of distractions left me feeling like I missed some stuff, but various articles about the book online say that I didn't. The second of the "here's how I got involved with all these folks" stories. Not my favorite entry, and not just because it does nothing to address the double-what?! from the end of Orca.
This is the last one I read back in the day, so now I'm going to start on the ones I haven't read: Issola, Dzur, Jhegala, Iorich, Tiassa.
