Lynch is able to pull of a really impressive feat of layering the schemes of his protagonists so that you never get bored.

This book didn’t have the same emotional depth as the first, but it’s undeniably exciting.

Strong follow-up to to Lynch's refreshingly original fantasy The Lies of Locke Lamora. Again, it's Locke and Jean -- a fun and interesting a Fritz Leiberesque rogue's duo -- taking a turn in a plot that's a bit Ocean's 11 by way of a hybridized Pirates of The Caribbean and Aubrey Maturin swashbuckling.

better than the first one, probably deserves 3.5 stars instead of 3. the plot's often kinda silly, and the characters and their conversations frequently lack any realism or believability. They feel like what you might write if you'd seen plenty soap operas but neglected to actually speak with another human being. Conversations and character interactions seem to be contrivances by which the author achieves plot points, and often don't have any bearing on how one would expect the characters to talk and behave.
