Probably not one I’ll reread. It seems to have lost some wit of the first two books. The characters are still good, but there isn’t any new context for what makes them brilliant. The “con” that gets them to the end of the politics plot is so abrupt and unfulfilling. Most of the political stuff felt more like petty scams run by primitives, not the fantastical ideas imagined by professional confidence men. Maybe it was intentional that the schemes were fumbly to emphasize that L and J aren’t politicos. Unlike several reviews, I enjoyed the back story that speaks to all the foreshadowing in the first two books about Sabetha. That “con” felt clunky as well but it should have been expected considering the age of the gang and it was their first group foray outside of Camorr. Average book, but the cliffhanger has me excited about the next incursion.

Red. It was a good read, but, nothing will compare to the first book...in my opinion! Loved the series and also eager to discover how Locke will meet his demise! Also, will Jean fall in love again?

Absolutely Disappointing. It's as if Lynch's editor was just happy to receive a document with the required word count. Scott, fire your editor and go back to the group who helped you edit your first book. Think about throwing most of this book away and try again. And leave out the BS about Locke's origin. A real editor would've never let that fly. You can do better.

Not great. I only read this book because the first two were good. I felt like this could’ve been made into two books just like the second in the trilogy. The writer is great I just felt like this book was almost a different genre than the first two books. Almost a romance novel with some political intrigue thrown in. Wouldn’t recommend.

Doesn’t stand on its own feet. Locke is a very well written character and this book has a tall task of standing up to the first, which was an excellent read. The second book was a little convoluted, but eventually found a foothold and sort of made it all worth it despite the ending being what it was leading into this installment. This felt like eating a steak that was 90% fat. The bits that were real meat were real meat, but there’s so much to wade through. One of the things that I both like and dislike about the fantasy genre is that authors want to make a point. This book took two parallel timelines and 20 minor characters to drive a point home when all I wanted was the resolution to about five characters relationships to one another. It was all worth it because of the fantastic character work that is done with the main characters, but I don’t need all the fluff that isn’t integral to what’s taking place. I enjoyed it, but I don’t know that I would have read it knowing where it ends or without being invested in the characters.

Gradual. The book felt slow to begin with after reading the first 2 books, but wow does it really pick up. Now I have to wait months for The Thorn of Emberlain!

Not Horrible but Disappointed. I wanted to like this so much, yet I felt so disappointed by the end. This could have been the grand finale to an excellent trilogy, but felt as if it lost it's sense of direction. If it wasn't for the fact that it is directly tied to the second novel and pretty much required to finish that story, then I'd skip this one.

Excellent. Worthy of the first, and much, much better than the second, with a promise of more to come.

So-so at best. I know most of the reviews here are 5 stars. However, I think this is a 3 at best. Withouht getting into the plot here are the prows and cons. Pros: Interesting premise, fairly good plot. A few of the pranks were genuinley funny. Cons: Structure is terrible constantly going from present to past every chapter. Only way I got over that was skipping the one and then coming back to it. The political intrigue was childish and lazily written. Any political intruge was based on bribing instead of genuinely interesting cat and mouse games or chess moves.

Disappointing. First book was outstanding. Last two were unfocused, cluttered and too ambitious. First book had a strong story line and excellent character development. Last two have ludicrously complicated story lines and weak character portrayal. Author should have used the same recipe for his second two books and kept it simple yet detailed. The plots were so convoluted and various that he had to conclude them superficially. Very dissatisfying.

More amazing plots and schemes.. Great ride of a book. Glad to see Lynch can still keep me on the edge of my seat while leaving me thirsting for the next entry in the series.

More to come?. Over far too quickly, this third piece of the trilogy left me hoping for a speedy fourth story.

The Republic of Thieves. I found the book not only attention grabbing but a fun for all fantasy built on a kind of reality so familiar yet foreign. I can't wait to see what happens in the next installment.

A riveting read!. A great follow up book. Couldn't put it down, and wish I didn't have to wait for the nest one.
