![]() ![]() Both the character and the world are decently interesting, and right from the beginning it feel like they both have a full-fledged history behind them. And it does a good job of introducing the series. The plot is rather slight, and I'm not sure the gimmick used to resolve things is set up quite as well as it could be. Jhereg: In this one, Vlad is hired to kill a very important target on a very strict time schedule, but the person has holed up somewhere where he can't be taken out without dire consequences. The three short novels included here are: Although it may not have been strictly necessary, as they're largely designed to all stand alone. Well, I've decided to go back to it now, and I figured a refresher on the first three books was in order. I first read these about ten years ago, enjoyed them, and had every intention of continuing on with the series, but for some reason I never did. (Well, I'm not sure "crime lord" is how he would think of it. Opportunities in that society are limited for people like him, but he's managed to do well for himself as an assassin and a crime lord. Vlad is a human living in a society controlled by the vaguely elf-like Dragaerans. ![]() ![]() This is an omnibus collection of the first three books - by publication date, not by internal chronology - in Steven Brust's Vlad Taltos series. ![]()

The author doesn’t put much effort into modernizing the story. We see a beautiful love story of Rudra and his lover and the warrior princess-Parvati, who helps him in the fight against Asuras. How Rudra learns to use his gift and fights against Asuras is the plot of the story. The gift, therefore, becomes a threat to him and his loved ones as Rudra is innately an aggressive person. When Rudra is in rage, his third eye opens up, destroying anyone in his way. Rudra is a celestial warrior prince, born with a gift-HIS THIRD EYE. Rudra means ‘who eradicates problems from their roots’.ĭhyanesh, the 15-year-old author of the book, has made an excellent attempt at presenting the story of Rudra. In the Rigveda, Rudra is praised as the 'mightiest of the mighty'. One translation of the name is 'the roarer'. Rudra is a Rigvedic deity associated with wind or storm, Vayu, and the hunt. Shiva is said to be the controller of time itself and has the responsibility of carrying out the process of destruction at the end of creation. Wikipedia: Shiva is one of the 3 principal deities of Hinduism. But the Hindu god that garners the most attention is Shiva. ![]() ![]() I find so many books in the market about Ram, Raavan, Sita, Draupadi, Krishna, etc., that I have lost the count.
