Phoenix

Without spoiling things too much: Things change in Dragaera. A lot.

My favorite assassin Vlad Taltos is hired to perform a killing, succeeds and escapes. The repercussions will change his life and him.

We also learn quite a few new things about the Empire, magic and Vlad's family.

All of this told in Vlad's usual laconic style, downplaying emotions, not saying anything he doesn't want to reveal - except between the lines. And with his wisecracking black humor. (Loiosh joins in, of course!)

I'm looking forward to reading more in this series. Recommended.
