Holds up the test of time. SnarkinessVery well thought out and paced perfectly. I never felt like I was too far behind or ahead of VladPlotA quick recap. Vlad Taltos is a human mafia boss living in an elven empire. His side gig is assassination. His companions include a smartass flying reptile called Loiosh, his wife/better half in almost every aspect, Cawti, an arrogant Elven noble, Morollan, Morollan's creepy psychopathic cousin, Aliera, and others. Taltos is hired by his mafia bosses to kill a renegade member, Mellar. The case gets increasingly complicated when Taltos figures out that the renegade is trying to bring down two noble houses at one time through his death. Taltos figures out a way to kill Mellar, save his friends, not start a war, keep his skin intact, and make a lot of money.InvestmentThe use of fantasy animals is astoundingly clear, but also intrigingLogicMorganti weaponsLittle (big) genetic history dump.
