Lacking Natural Simplicity

The Paths of the Dead, Book One of The Viscount of Adrilankha by Steven Brust, P.J.F., copyright 2002; “Publisher's Note” copyright 2002 by Emma Bull; “Some Notes Toward Two Analyses of Auctorial Method and Voice” copyright 2002 by Teresa Nielsen Hayden; Tor/Tom Doherty Associates, LLC; First mass market edition August 2003, 3rd printing; ISBN 0-812-53417-4. Continuing his Dragaeran homage to Alexandre Dumas, in this, the first part of the third book of the series if you follow the author's numbering or the entire third book of the series if you follow the publisher's numbering, we are reunited with old friends hundreds of years after Adron's Disaster and introduced to new characters who link this series with his Vlad Taltos series. It's very nice to find out yet more about the history of Dragaera.
