The Assassins of Thasalon by Lois McMaster Bujold

4.0

A full-length Penric and Desdemona novel! With this one completed, I've finally completed the series to date (not sure if Bujold plans to write more in this series or the World of the Five Gods generally). Penric and Desdemona are, as usual, very powerful, and this time are send to complete a God-given mission (from the Bastard, obviously!) in a dangerous country Penric only barely escaped from in a past (mis)adventure. Plenty of twists and turns, but lacks some high-stakes suspense some of the other stories have had.
