Lyorn: Vlad Taltos #17    by Steven Brust Order:  USA  Can Tor, 2024 (2024) Hardcover, e-Book     Reviewed by Hilary Williamson I've been reading Brust's Vlad Taltos books forever, it seems. Lyorn follows Tsalmoth as the seventeenth in this most unusual fantasy series that began with Jhereg. As always, the dialogue (especially with jhereg Loiosh) is just as engaging as the action - and there's plenty of that as Vlad is on the run once more. The Left Hand is after him with all their sorcerous resources and there's no place to hide - or is there? Vlad ends up holing up in a theater that his its own problems. A show banned centuries before is being rehearsed again, and the powerful House that once killed to stop its performance is now trying to shut down the theater. Vlad makes a deal and soon all his world's a stage. He plays a small part in the performance and a much bigger one in helping the other players and saving the show. As always, Vlad, Loiosh et al offer a most entertaining read! Note: Opinions expressed in reviews and articles on this site are those of the author(s) and not necessarily those of BookLoons.
