In the pursuit of completeness, I am forcing myself through Steve Brust's Khaavren Romances. They are prequels to his Vlad Taltos series of books that are written in the style of Alexandre Dumas, and as such are often intentionally insufferably tedious to varying degrees of entertaining. I'm not hating them entirely, but the pacing is very, very slow compared to the Vlad Taltos books, which I enjoy much more. I'm up to book 13 of those, and on the third of five Khaavren Romances.
