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

4.0

If you've been looking for an excuse to re-read all of the Penric stories, I think this is a good one. While this is a standalone story, there were obviously a number of call backs and references to previous stories. Bujold writes a great book, and it is nice to have a longer Penric installment, but I think I might have put this at a 5 star instead of 4 star if I'd had the previous events more freshly in my mind.

2022 re-read: it is indeed better with having recently read all the series. 4.5 stars still.
