Significantly better than the second book. Some good slow burn re Locke and Sabetha. Makes me sad that its been 11 years waiting for the fourth book. Woof

I'm so close to giving this 5 stars because I enjoy the characters and their interactions the most out of any book in the series, and Sabetha is such a great addition. However, the plot, while good, is the least engaging in the series. It takes a while to pick up, and lacks the suspense of previous plots. But it's still an amazing book.

I NEED book four!!!!

Really wish Locke and Sabetha could've remained together 😕

The Republic of Thieves caps off Scott Lynch's Gentleman Bastard sequence in the best of ways (currently). Yes, the sequel is curruently now at ten years in development, but the novels are all self-contained enough that I don't see it as too much of a problem with the series. The plot itself is very simple from the outside, but by the third book of the series, the audience is so accustomed to the characters and their traits that the joy of the book itself comes from these characters interacting. The relationship of two characters is the crux of this novel, and one that has been hinted at and built up for the past two books. The story switches between a fun current day plot and an engaging past narrative, both of which are equally as entertaining. Lynch deserves all the accolades for this one. 9.5/10.

<Sabetha is amazing!!! I think that there could have been more foreshadowing for the ending and it should have been more clear> The characters and their interactions are amazing. The plots were hard to be invested in. It seemed that a lot of it was just there to put the characters together, which is fine, I just wish it were a bit easier to be invested in.
