A review by nwhyte
The Book of Jhereg by Steven Brust

http://nwhyte.livejournal.com/1294561.html[return][return]Jhereg: The style owes a great deal to Roger Zelazny, but I felt was not quite as even. Complex plot which more or less made sens[return][return]Yendi: there is an attractive romance subplot between the assassin crimelord narrator and the woman who kills him before he gets 'revivified', but the core story is mired in complex dynastic politics which were never explained to the point where I could actually care about them.[return][return]Teckla: I simply could not relate to Taltos' unwillingness to adapt his personal code of honour to his wife's political and personal interests: as far as I could suspend my disbelief, it made him a deeply unattractive character whose fate I could barely bring myself to care about.
