I read it.  I recommend it.  It's quite good.  (Sadly however, it is my
least favorite of the four Brust books I've read so far.)

I do note that the cover blurb is incorrect, where it says

>	Prince Andre, a clever man - though perhaps a little shallow;

The character's name is "Andros". This caused me some confusion, since
there was this brother not mentioned on the cover, and a brother
mentioned on the cover I kept waiting to come out of the wings.

There are also zillions of hooks by which to hang other tales, and some
possibility that this universe co-exists with Vlad's.  I hope to read
more about it.
