The Republic of Thieves by Scott Lynch

4.0

Fun read! I was very glad to have the backstory of Sabetha. I'll admit I still don't quite understand from her perspective why she loves Locke. Granted we don't get much written from her perspective, but still it's hard to imagine an ambitious girl like her falling in love with a younger boy she grew up with in the same house for most of her teen years. Though maybe that's part of what she's still sorting out, too.

Some good schemes and capers in this book which I adore. Calo and Galdo, being back from the dead via parallel storyline from the past, didn't get as much attention as I would have liked. I was a little bitter after the first book at all these lovable characters that got killed off. Now they're back, but not much attention was paid to them again- just filling space as before. They were working something out about their twin individuality, it seemed, but never resolved it. A shame.

I definitely want to read the next one!
