The Republic of Thieves
by Scott Lynch
I really wanted to love this book. The first two in the Gentleman Bastard series were amazing, but this missed the mark for me.
This book, like the others, jumps between past and present timelines with interludes thrown in. I found myself liking the past timeline more than the present. It was nice to get to see more of Locke’s past and learn more about his friends. Unfortunately, the present timeline bored me and had me speeding through it to get back to the past.
The plot of the book was also a weak point and had me confused at times, especially the ending. The humor and bromance between Locke and Jean just wasn’t as prevalent in this story. Which made me very sad because those were the best parts of the other books.
Overall, I am still excited to read the rest of the series when it comes out.
