A review by declaired
The Republic of Thieves by Scott Lynch
4.0
Things I liked:
- I love how Locke is with Sabetha. I love how they are with each other. I love that they are both prickly disasters. And I love the way Locke listens to Sabetha (and she to him; but she has more to say to shift Locke's worldview)
-The writing is quick-paced, the plots this time are equally sharp and although the stakes are high, it's scheming-as-flirtation, which is so good. the game is afoot!
Other things:
-as usual, this is on me: OH GOD I THOUGHT THIS WAS A TRILOGY OH NO
-The dual narratives structure worked a bit better for me this time! Because what we were doing was filling out the often-referenced but never explained emotional relationship between Sabetha & Locke, which is the central theme/relationship of this book (like the last book was about Jean & Locke!).
-as mentioned, the stakes, while still theoretically very high in this book, are not world-endingly high this time - the stakes we play for are sabetha & locke's happiness / eventual relationship, which sort of changes the tone of the book. I think it's good but it's also just an interesting development.
