Which you&#8217;ll know if you&#8217;re a long time reader here is kind of a big deal. You&#8217;ll also know that the series is coming towards an end[1], which explains why I can say very little. Basically, Vlad Taltos is an assassin, he&#8217;s made powerful enemies and powerful friends, and this particular book is more about the latter than the former. Worth knowing: <a title=\"Vallista: A Novel of Vlad Taltos by Steven Brust, at Amazon\" href=\"https:\/\/smile.amazon.com\/Vallista-Novel-Taltos-Steven-Brust\/dp\/0765324458\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vallista<\/a> has straight answers to a number of longstanding questions about the nature of reality (which is one of the ways you can tell the end is near).<\/p>\n<p>Also worth knowing (perhaps the only other relevant thing <em>to<\/em> know): Brust&#8217;s tenure as the only author I&#8217;ve read with no disappointing books continues unabated. In addition to the reliable storyline and voice of this series, I was especially amused by the chapter titles. But mostly, I continue to love everything about this character.<\/p>\n<p>[1] Somewhere between three to five books left, if I understand what&#8217;s going on correctly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Vlad book!
