Critics Review
“Surprisingly resonant…another solid entry in the series.” –RT Review, 4 stars, on Vallista
“Clever….Brust’s signature wit and narrative voice keep the action flowing and entertaining.” –Publishers Weekly on Vallista
“Brust is one of those natural caper writers, a pulp writer in the Hammett tradition, someone with what William Gibson calls ‘wheels on his tractor.’ In other words, a writer who can spin a yarn that keeps you guessing until the end, aware of many precise moving parts all meshing in synchrony to drive a magnificent jeweled watch of a story.” –Cory Doctorow on Hawk
“Watch Steven Brust. He’s good. He moves fast. He surprises you. Watching him untangle the diverse threads of intrigue, honor, character and mayhem from amid the gears of a world as intricately constructed as a Swiss watch is a rare pleasure.” –Roger Zelazny
“Wonderful…Like most of Brust’s books, this witty, wry tale stands alone and is very accessible to new readers.” –Publishers Weekly on Tiassa
