As a huge fan of Steven Brust, I was first shocked when I started reading Phoenix Guards, because the writing style was dramatically different from the Jhereg series. Then I adjusted my mindset and found that I enjoyed it just as much as his other works. After reading an author's note, I learned that he deliberately wrote Phoenix Guards as something of an homage to Alexandre Dumas, and took a story based in the same universe as Jhereg and wrote in a similar style to The Three Musketeers. The fresh approach to the subject matter was refreshing and made me sit back and appreciate Brust even more to be able to move from his normal mode to another so seamlessly. Highly recommended!
