Oh, well. M. and I consider it the _Teckla_ of the series--a book that had to happen, that built the character in important ways, and that provides essential setup for the final apotheosis, but that isn't much fun as a standalone work.
Though Brust at least made you feel bad *for* Vlad, instead of pissed *at* him.
