The Book of Jhereg

Great start to a gritty but fun fantasy series.

Great start of a fantastic and fun series that is likely to go to 17 novels or so. Grittier than most fantasy I've read, but not “needlessly” so. Great characters and situations. Has a sleuthy feel to it as well. Often a lot ‘deeper' than you initially think the books are, but it doesn't hit you until then end of the book.
