Why read it?

1 author picked Phoenix as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Brust has written a long series that is all connected to his cycle about Vlad Taltos.

My favorite is The Phoenix Guards, which evokes, for me, the swashbuckling style and fun of Dumas’ Three Musketeers. Brust took that tongue-in-cheek narrative voice, and the panache of the seventeenth-century Musketeers as envisioned by Dumas, and created this world full of magic and fascinating denizens.
