I re-read Issola, by Steven Brust (prior booklog entry), one night when I had a headache and couldn’t deal with anything new. I picked this up in particular because it has a fair bit of information about Morrolan, which I wanted to consider in light of The Lord of Castle Black.
The only thing I have to say about this book that I haven’t said before is that it is quite literally a novel of manners, and I feel very slow for not having noticed this earlier. (And I do intend to go back to the Fantasy of Manners list (collection of LiveJournal posts on the topic), but clearing the gigantic backlog here seemed to be more important.)
