Hawk, the latest in Stephen Brusts' New York Times best-selling Vlad Taltos series. Years ago, Vlad Taltos came from the East, to make his way as a human amid the impossibly tall, fantastically long-lived natives of the Dragaeran Empire. He joined the Jhereg, the Dragaeran House (of which there are 17) that handles the Empire's vices: gambling, rackets, organized crime. He became a professional assassin. He was good at it. But that was then, before Vlad and the Jhereg became mortal enemies. For years, Vlad has run from one end of the Empire to the other, avoiding the Jhereg assassins who pursue him. Now, finally, he's back in the imperial capital where his family and friends are. He means to stay there this time. Whatever happens. And whatever it takes.

in the end I felt like the very end of the book was anti-climactic I feel the ending was unclear if this is the last book in the series then maybe the author was intending to leave the book open to the reader or the ending to their own imagination I can appreciate this but realistically I would have loved to a solid conclusion or some kind of closure to the series but maybe I'll listen to it again and see what I missed in the previous 14 books and try to get a deeper understanding of the story

nice tricky twisty story with just enough humor balancing the grim parts

Bernard Setaro Clark becomes more performative in this book, exaggerating some of Vlad's lines a bit. Still a dreamy voice I think about often. Very exciting book. Was not able to put it down. Shared an impression that connections and experiences are valuable. Talk with your friends more. Rely on people. Trust. lol

Maybe my favorite Vlad Taltos Book

I really like this story but had a very difficult time getting past the fact that particular characters accents changed and the pronunciation of some words changed after 13 stories.

Accents and pronunciation changed

Never fails to amaze. Vlad is in his element, plotting, scheming and almost failing miserably but pulling it out in the end. Love it.

Superb, as always.
