Description
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…

5By SarahAndKenI’ve loved the Vlad books since I was a teenager, now my son has been reading them with me for the past few years and it’s been great. If I’m being honest I was a bit hesitant to get excited about another trip to the past for Vlad (only because I’m so interested where his current story will go and ultimately end) but as usual I was not disappointed. Mr. Brust is a remarkable storyteller and I enjoyed every minute of this book. Pick it up I have no doubt you’ll enjoy it too!Increasingly stale series
3By diamantineThis installment of Dragaera was disappointing—a vague and confused plot, involving further instances of “protagonist plot armour”, whose only payoff is the revelation at the end. Much of the early banter/wisecracking were by-the-numbers—to be charitable, a portion could be attributed to a younger protagonist, but much of it felt forced. The 3-star rating is because the long lasting Dragaera series has had several high points (especially “Orca”). I’d rate Tsalmoth much lower in isolation.Technical issues
1By csc745Impossible to read. End of each page has nothing in common with start of next page. Page order broken? Page formatting losing words? Sentences that cross a page make no sense, and can even change speakers.
