A review by fivemack
The Assassins of Thasalon by Lois McMaster Bujold

4.0

This feels like a conclusion to the story of Penric and Desdemona; it's novel-length after the succession of novellas, and we get to see the Bastard as near to actually intervening in the world as they can. Also an assassination weapon which, after the nine volumes of demonology you've gone through to get here, is truly horrifying.
