All's fair in love, war, politics, and magic. Except the magic. And the love. And the war. And the politics, well.....
That's the game, after all.

The 2 story lines didn't interact enough thematically to have them in the same book, in my opinion. I would have preferred to do each story separately and flesh them out a bit more. Usually Lynch does well building side characters but not so much in this book, I'd argue because he was so rushed doing the 2 storylines.

This certainly felt like a bridge book rather than a standalone. Plot points from book one and two finally started to come together only to be left free at the end. I can never enjoy a book as much when it’s clearly meant as a stepping stone instead of its own story. Not that the plot is bad, but that no real progress is made & just additional questions added on the open plot points.
Otherwise, The Republic of Thieves continues the tradition of daring plans and characters in over their heads, though with less daring and less immediate consequences. Like the second iteration, this book adds romance but whether it’s a tragedy or comedy is left undetermined.
The high points were the characters, as additional layers were pulled back and we learned more about previously unknown people. Maybe eventually we will get the fourth iteration of the sequence and we can get some closure.
