I am a latecomer to this series and to this author. I thouroughly enjoyed this story and I look forward to exploring more of the series. Vlad is a very likeable character and Brust does a great job in developing the backstory for Vlad in short order but still with detail and interst to keep you engaged. There are some good hints at the larger world of Vlad that make me want to discover more and you can tell that Brust had a very clear developed larger world to use for future stories. I found the humor very subtle and very engaging and sometime laugh out loud funny. The characters seem very real and very relatable.
