Brust, Steven, and Emma Bull: Freedom and Necessity [personal] post-wedding post: And now good-morrow to our waking souls . . . -or- Reader, I married him. This past Saturday, to be precise. If you were there—we hope you had a good time. If you weren't—we wish you could have been. If it...
Brust, Steven, and Emma Bull: Freedom and Necessity [re-read]: In my re-read of Freedom and Necessity, by Steven Brust and Emma Bull, I'd been stuck about forty pages from the end for a week or two. I knew that I'd want to read the rest all at once,...
Brust, Steven: (109) Issola: I'm not dead, I'm just . . . failing to rest, actually. Did I mention that exams suck? They suck enough that, after my second one, I really needed something with snappy dialogue to get me out of my funk. Put...
Brust, Steven: (109) Issola (re-read): I re-read Issola, by Steven Brust (prior booklog entry), one night when I had a headache and couldn't deal with anything new. I picked this up in particular because it has a fair bit of information about Morrolan, which...
Brust, Steven: (110) Dzur: Fans of Steven Brust's Vlad Taltos series: do not read any review of Dzur (out in August) other than this one. There are two surprises in the Prologue, one small and one big, and while it's hard to call them...
Brust, Steven: (111) Jhegaala: I'll say right up front that I have very little useful to say about Steven Brust's latest Vlad Taltos book, Jhegaala. This is the long-awaited story of Vlad back East, set shortly after Phoenix, and as a result of its...
Brust, Steven: (201) The Phoenix Guards: For swashbuckling that's certain to satisfy, I turn to Steven Brust's The Phoenix Guards. In one of the "About the Author" pieces, Brust says that "Paarfi of Roundwood [the narrator] is the creation of a writer who, at first,...
Brust, Steven: (202) Five Hundred Years After: It's the weekend, and I have a copy of Steven Brust's Five Hundred Years After, the sequel to The Phoenix Guards. Re-reading this was a very weird experience. On one level, I was processing the plot—conspiracies, adventures, and assassinations,...
Brust, Steven: (203) The Paths of the Dead: Yay, Brust. So, The Paths of the Dead does, indeed, rock just as much as I'd hoped during the long wait for it. This is the next book in the series of Dumas pastiches set on Dragaera; the first...
Brust, Steven: (203) The Paths of the Dead (re-read): (These two entries are out of chronological order; I wanted to get them out in a timely fashion, so I will fill in other books as I get around to logging them.) I re-read The Paths of the Dead,...
Brust, Steven: (204) The Lord of Castle Black: Steven Brust's The Lord of Castle Black is, I can now say, the second part of the longer work The Viscount of Adrilankha, rather than the second book in a trilogy. Why can I now say this? Because in...
Brust, Steven: (205) Sethra Lavode: I read Steven Brust's Sethra Lavode, the concluding volume of The Viscount of Adrilankha (prior volumes: The Paths of the Dead and The Lord of Castle Black), quite a while ago. I'd planned to post about it just as...
