I've been rereading the Vlad Taltos books lately, in no particular order. I had never read "Teckla," and was a bit leery of it, after reading the reviews which all seem to call it depressing. Well, it is depressing. Very depressing, actually. However, that doesn't necessarily make it bad. In fact, I think it may be one of the better books in the series, in terms of human drama. If you follow this series chronologically, Vlad becomes more complex and human with each book, and "Teckla" is an important step on his journey.
In "Teckla," Vlad discovers that his wife, Cawti, has joined a revolutionary organization, composed of Easterners and Teckla, and based in South Adrilankha. Vlad can't understand why Cawti cares about revolution and social justice; they argue throughout the book, and their marriage is under serious strain.
The plot is complicated, as usual, involving numerous assassination attempts, Jhereg internal wars, and the three-way clash of the revolutionaries, the Jhereg, and the Phoenix Guards. However, it isn't nearly as fun as the chronologically "earlier" books; Brust poses serious questions about the social and political organization of the Dragaeran Empire, and the costs and true effects of revolution. Along the way, he finally manages to make Vlad question the morality of his lifestyle. Vlad, who had previously accepted organized crime and assassination now has to face Cawti's disapproval, and realize that maybe, when he looks very closely, he doesn't like himself that much.
This was the third Vlad book Brust wrote, but at the moment, it is chronologically fifth in the series. However you count, this is NOT the place to start reading; without knowing Vlad's past, "Teckla" is a bit confusing. It's also a lot darker than the earlier novels, and less fun, but it builds logically on everything we know about Vlad. Brust, interestingly, makes Vlad a real, changing, growing person, not just an entertaining but utterly unrealistic assassin.
