A review by goodbyepuckpie
Agyar by Steven Brust

3.0

Really not sure what I thought of this book. I feel kind of like it was probably a good book, I just didn't like it very much. I've been realising since I started reading outside the Dragaera books that Brust is very hit or miss for me, and this book seems more of a miss. I didn't like the protaganist, I saw the ending coming, and I also predicted a twist that didn't happen but that I thought would have been more interesting if it had. Which is sad, because I deeply adore the Dragaera books and get earwormed with that world every time I read them. This just doesn't work as well, it's a bit too "oh I see what you did there" in feel. I also was a bit disappointed to reach the end because I wanted to know more about Jim, and it felt slightly unfinished in that regard. Mostly, I'm going to be glad to have finally finished this and be able to give it back. (hi Chris! :D)
