I'm not sure what it is about it, but it's just not capturing my interest and the narrator's monotone voice isn't helping. Might try again later.

What a good time! For a first novel, this was full and complete with none of the usual 'first book' mistakes. The story kept me interested and turning pages! I loved the characters we were introduced to throughout and I'm excited to see where everyone goes on book 2.

If you like The Gentleman Bastards, I highly recommend you pick this book up! It's got heists, it's got swordplay, it's got banter. What's not to like? At times this read more like a thriller than a fantasy book in all the best ways. I don't remember the last time I looked down and saw I'd accidentally read for hours without noticing it. Was completely sucked in! While there's always a chance the rest of this series will be a letdown, this is such a strong start that I'm ready for the ride!
