beccastareyesThe local Borders has this tendency to break street date on books (well, not Harry Potter -- they aren't insane, after all). I first noticed this when it came to Ink and Steel. Now, I just finished Jhegaala, which was due out on the eighth.
Really, I should have done a reread. So, Jhegaala is a interquel in the Vlad Taltos series -- it comes after all the Vlad-the-assasin books, and before all the Vlad the fugitive (and also Dangerous Guy) books. And, it might have helped to remember all the stuff -- heck I barely remembered Dzur.
As is, I found it pretty enjoyable. Vlad and Loiosh were witty as always, and the plot was interesting. Mostly involving Vlad walking into a situation that was totally not his fault, and trying to figure out What the Hell is Going On?
Damn, I really need to reread the series. I have a feeling I missed a lot.
(It was a shame to not see any of the regulars again, but I expected that. Also hard to remember that I knew stuff Vlad hadn't learned yet, or even when Vlad learned, for example, that Morrolan was raised by Easterners.)
