One of the Greats

Brust is my Favorite author and this book is one of his best. beautiful world building, fun, engaging characters and an interesting writing style that will keep you turning the pages, so to speak. I cannot recommend this enough

Vlad's begining in the Organization

In the 4th installment of Vlad's adventures he finds himself on the Paths of the Dead. We also find out how Vlad got a hold of Spell Breaker (the chain he carry's that will dispel magic that is thrown at it). As we all know every assassin must have a first job and we get to see how Vlad began his carrier.

The interchanging story points all linking in the end.

This series was my first favorite to read and for good reason as the story outline is intriguing throughout this series. The Audible was enjoyable to listen to and was well scripted, thank you for a job well done.

boring narrative

monotone narration but delightful story. kept me guessing and wondering how they were going to resolve their problem. very fun read.

Walk the path again?

This is my second go through and this time I'm doing it by publication date not timeline. If you read in order od publication this is confusing. That being said you know the characters and it is nice to see their original adventure.
Wonderful look of how an Easterner handles the Elves in their own setting.
