Tsalmoth is the next installment in Steven Brust’s bestselling Vlad Taltos series—hold on to your hats and get ready for another swashbuckling adventure! First comes love. Then comes marriage... Vlad Taltos is in love. With a former assassin who may just be better than he is at the Game. Women like this don’t come along every day and no way is he passing up a sure bet. So a wedding is being planned. Along with a shady deal gone wrong and a dead man who owes Vlad money. Setting up the first and trying to deal with the second is bad enough. And then bigger powers decide that Vlad is the perfect patsy to shake the power structure of the kingdom. More's the pity that his soul is sent walkabout to do it. How might Vlad get his soul back and have any shot at a happy ending? Well, there’s the tale...

I was ready to be annoyed by this book. I was soo ready. But, it seems, I ended up really loving this one.
Tsalmoth felt like old school Vlad. I thought we won't be getting the voice of younger Vlad anymore, but I'm so happy to see the return of classic Vlad. It's weird to call this novel old school, or classic, because for me I started this series only in April, and I fell in love with it.
This is, yet again, a simple Vlad tale with the usual hijinks. It's uncomplicated, and enjoyable. Vlad and Cawti are just too cute with each other, and I loved watching them together after the events of the last few main line books.
The epilogue does a good job of giving some context for what's to come in the main line series. I'm glad the next book in the series is just a few months away, and it continues the main story.
