Dzur_ is about two-thirds of a Vlad novel. It's got a lot of fabulous dialogue, some sumptuous descriptive writing, and the welcome return of some old friends. What it doesn't have is much in the way of plot.
I was really looking forward to this one. Vlad used to be a small cog in the big machine of Adrilankha. Then he was a desperate refugee. Now he's back in Adrilankha, but no longer as a bit player. Now, he's a power to be reckoned with.
But _Dzur_ doesn't really show much of a change in Vlad, in Adrilankha, or in the relationship between them. Brust could have set the tale in Vlad's early life, before his exile, without many alterations. It's as though Brust, having made Vlad into a big cheese, is trying to explain it all away so that he doesn't have to tell a different kind of story.
Furthermore, having set up the conflict in the opening chapter, Brust follows with a surprisingly low-key plot. Vlad walks around and talks to people a lot. There's only one bit of action, which lasts about a page. The emotional intensity is very low (something that could have been different if Cawti had any major role to play; she appears, vanishes, and comes back for a brief epilogue). And Vlad's ultimate solution to his problem is something he really could have done around chapter 3. All that walking and talking in the middle of the book contributes very little to the end.
