A new discovery for me. An original perspective, a universe with great potential, and an author with a style I absolutely love. Vlad Taltos' constant use of understatement and euphemism for his "work" needed focussed reading - no skimming - in order not to miss much. But this was also a great pleasure and let me appreciate the little details in the descriptions all the more.

The action is straightforward - Vlad is hired to take out a thief, runs into problems and has to come up with a plan to achieve his objectives - just as a "Mission Impossible" episode. And just as much fun.

I am definitely going to check out the next volumes in this series as well as other books by Steven Brust!
