I felt a little disappointed at the ending. I can only assume that he is setting up for the 3rd book which will tie up all the loss ends. The writing in these books is good, his descriptions and scene setup are marvelous and his use of metaphor adds to the story. Great character development and dialogue as well. I just felt the ending was a bit rushed.

Sometimes words don't do things justice.

Just know that this book was all the right things and more.

(And the big change-up in the midst of it all? I loved it. No lie.)

This is an improvement over the first, but it still suffers occasionally from all-too-convenient coincidences and unnecessary fake-outs

Scott Lynch struck again in the second book of the Gentleman Bastards, and kept the reader engaged with his witty and emotional writing. I can’t wait to read the third book and hopefully the fourth one when it comes out.

This one started off really strong, but about halfway in I didn’t find the story to be super compelling. Had a good ending though. I’ll definitely continue with this series, but this one was not nearly as enjoyable as its predecessor.
