These books were just so fun! Adventure, jokes, romance, scary bad guys. Think Pirates of the Caribbean in book form.
The main character is Captain Loch, a badass black woman whose resourcefulness comes in handy in fights. Her gang of thieves are all interesting in their own right.
I also appreciated the openness to different sexual orientations in the stories.

What a ride this series was. I can't remember a trilogy that I have enjoyed as thoroughly as this one. My unholy love for heist stories definitely helped. The writing is very casual and a lot of stuff has very blunt nods to our society. But it's not annoying, it's just fun. These books would work very well as movies or a TV show and maybe one day we'll see it happen.

The Paladin Caper was a well-executed finale to an excellent fantasy series. Rogues of the Republic provided a comfortable romp thanks to the familiar fantasy setting and tropes with fantastic characters and banter. I most appreciated the tongue-in-cheek critique of our society nicely couched in the fantasy setting and engaging character growth with clever twists one would want from heist-based plotlines.

I haven't read many trilogies that were as satisfying as this one. Throughout all three books, characters made cameos that were substantial and satisfying, the relationships between the main characters evolved in a natural manner that didn't seem forced, and the story rose and fell in natural conclusions.
That being said, this last book was the best out of the three, mainly because it was non-stop action from beginning to end. The first two books were pretty straight heist novels with fantasy elements, this one was pure climax, action-adventure through and through.
5/5, pick up the whole trilogy if you have the time.
