Dzur, by Steven Brust
Dzur
by Steven Brust (
skzbrust)
285 pages (hardcover)
Genre: Fiction/Fantasy
People say that Terry Pratchett has a cult following; I think Steven Brust has even more of one. Dzur is far into the Vlad Taltos series, but it doesn't really matter because Brust loves playing with time and structure. Ah, chronological chaos, how I love thee. The food descriptions in this one are wonderful and make a usually stunning Vlad story into a star. The plot twists are great, subtly foreshadowed. Other than waxing (un)poetic about the food, though, I don't really have much to say. Recommended, but I can't quite decide on the specific reasons why.
