Commentary As Books Jhereg (Vlad Taltos #1)

Vlad Taltos ist ein Hexer, freiberuflicher Attentäter, lebt als Ostländer (also Mensch) unter Dragaeranern und nennt einen reptilischen Vertrauten mit beissendem Humor sein Eigen. Und er ist in Schwierigkeiten, denn er muss einen Krieg verhindern, in dem sich seine besten Freunde und daneben auch die großen Familien von Dragaera gegenseitig auslöschen würden... The first to be published, this is actually the fourth novel in the timeline of the VLAD TALTOS series. The books recount the adventures of the wisecracking hired killer Vlad, a human on a planet mainly inhabited by the long-lived, extremely tall sorcerers known as the Dragaerans. One of the most powerful bosses in the Jhereg--Dragaera's premier criminal organization--hires Vlad, one of their guild members, to assassinate Mellar, who stole millions from the Jhereg leadership and fled. Unfortunately, this thief turns out to be protected in a way that makes it difficult for Vlad to do his job without gaining the permanent enmity of a friend. The reader also learns more about Vlad's past in this, and in other, lives.

Write-Up Appertaining To Books Jhereg (Vlad Taltos #1)

Ages ago, I read Jo Waltons reviews of the Vlad Taltos books and resolved to read them immediately. I did pick up this first book, but after that failed to carry on, even though the first book is good and Jos reviews fascinating. Theres a lot going on in this world, and I really want to read more of the books to get a better grasp on it. In the meantime, Vlad Taltos himself is snarky, moderately capable, and definitely capable of getting himself into trouble. A winning combination even without

This is a very well written book with nice action and magic. A sort of cheeky modern story in a fantasy world. It's just not my particular cup of tea!

This is the third in my list of books that inspired me to start writing fantasy and in many ways is the most influential. The hero of the series, Vlad Taltos, is an assassin, which is, you know, not an especially nice thing to be. The thing is, deep down Vlad really wants to be a nice guy. He just needs to kill a few shitbags first. Now it's true that the list of people Vlad needs to kill includes pretty much the entire Dragaeran Empire, but he's willing to leave a few off the list if they

Ehr. Mah. Gerd. Vlad Taltos. Oh whats that? Is that a badass name for a badass main character? Why yes, yes it is. Look at that name. Look at it. It fits him perfectly. Clear. Concise. Ominous . You know your MC is a badass when hes in the middle of an internal monologue and subtly lets slip that hes been (view spoiler)[ killed and resurrected (hide spoiler)] before and then just keeps on talking like its no big deal. I was all La-la-la, this story is neato! but then "Wait. Wut? I had to go

While there was nothing absolutely mind-blowing about the plot or the fantasy, the one thing that really stood out in this book was the fantastic writing.It was absolutely some of the easiest reading I've had for an obviously detailed and fleshed out world full of lots of magic, interesting races, very long lived people, and dragons. It flew by so quickly and easily, I was rather surprised at how much info-dump never came across as info-dump. I learned so much about the world, naturally, that I

Re-read 9/18/17, as audiobook. The year I was thirteen, I read and re-read obsessively the same, perhaps, thirty books. Keep in mind I had almost nothing but free time and I read three to four books a day. That is a lot of times to re-read anything. I've since learned that this is not an uncommon phenomenon among children and young teens, and it does not indicate any problems with their overall reading habit. For me, it was a matter of falling into comfortable grooves, revisiting powerful

Via Book Reviews by Niki Hawkes at www.nikihawkes.comJhereg was nothing like I thought it would be it was better! I was expecting a typical boy gets a dragons and goes out on an epic adventure book (I guess I need to stop judging by the cover alone). What I ended up with was a cheeky, magical, modern-day assassin mystery that blew my socks off.Highly interesting characters and plot-lines, it was an extremely fast-paced novel that keeps you page-turning to the very end. And when I say fast-paced,
