Steven is one of those authors who just cant produce enough for me. I both long for another Vlad book to arrive, and dread it as I know that with each one the series end will draw closer. Jhegaala explores the East much more than previously, and it’s a different place. Also need to see Vlad produce, while so hampered by the need to keep a low profile. There is a core mystery and it’s tricky…though I was at the end of a 17hr flight when I started it, so maybe it’ll be more clear to you. Needless to say, recommended for all fans of Fantasy, though this isn’t the place to start (The Book of Jhereg is).
