Even though the Taltos books aren't published in chronological order, Orca followed the storyline started in the previous book (Athyra) and I have already decided that at this point, Vlad the Detective is nowhere near as interesting as Vlad the Assassin. The plot is dull, revolving around a financial scheme (!), and the supporting cast does very little supporting. Kiera the Thief is the only useful side character, and the end of the book the author decides to throw a twist into things that seems totally unnecessary - perhaps it was obvious at this point that Vlad on his own, without Morrolan, Aliera, or even Kragar is just not that fun to read. I'm working on Book 8 right now, which goes back in time to a more interesting period, but I'm not certain at this point if I will care much anymore.
