I enjoyed the Master of the House of Darts as much as the previous books. Luckily, this is a series which keeps its quality. In this last book, Acatl has another murder mystery to solve: this time a warrior who isn't well liked is killed with magic and it seems that the magic is contagious.

I just finished Tim Powers' The Drawing of the Dark which has been in my shelf for a couple of years. It's a historical fantasy, as Powers' books tend to be, set in 1529 Vienna during the Turkish siege. Brian Duffy is a middle-aged mercenary who is hired to a tavern as a bouncer. But he starts to see strange things and unknown people, and things, attack him. It's an enjoyable book and a quick read.
