Steven Brust is one of my favorite fantasy authors. OK, he is a communist sympathizer, but I don’t see that in the books I’ve read (maybe I’m just not that deep). What truly makes him an amazing writer is his ability to write well in different styles. His Taltos series is written in the first person. His Phoenix Guards series that is set in the same world as Taltos is written in a “Romantic” (not romance) style.
For some reason Brust decided to write a Firefly novel. Brust – Firefly, what’s not to like?
