Series: Gentleman Bastard #2 Abandoned at 37%. I gave a solid effort to this one, but I’m finding that I just don’t care. I can’t even really point to a particular feature that annoys me (ok, other than that supposed “prologue” which isn’t really a prologue) or say that it’s poorly written. I ju...
Better than the first one, and not just because I'm totally weak for nautical fantasy. Huge increase in female characters, definite increase in non-straight characters. The boys being useless and getting into shenanigans. Bad-ass mom character. More scuzzy fantasy - my favourite. The Lies of Loc...
I loved The Lies of Locke Lamora. LOVED IT! I loved it so much that I reread it immediately after reading it the first time. I highly doubt I will read any book in the near future that can compare to how much I enjoyed the first Gentleman Bastard books.Needless to say, my expectations were extremely...
I read the blockbusting [b: The Lies of Locke Lamora|127455|The Lies of Locke Lamora (Gentleman Bastard #1)|Scott Lynch|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1386924569s/127455.jpg|2116675] in July 2014 and I just read this second volume of the Gentleman Bastard series today May 9, 2015, almost a year apart...

There's all the great friendships and adventures and risk-taking of the first book - but this time with a great sea voyage. Pirates. Pirates make everything better. An...
This book is similar to the first book. The only main difference is that the whole thing is more nautical (hence the name) than it's predecessor. Otherwise the structure of the book is the same. More flashbacks, more advancing the underlying epic storyline, and a mystery to solve. Final verdict:...
did I miss something between the first and the second book? was there another installment? how did this get so much better on such short notice?! scratch out what I said in my review for the first installment, that it resembles Kvothe of "The Name of The Wind". That doesn't apply here! Locke develop...
I have heard people commenting that they enjoyed The Lies of Locke Lamora better than this one but I would say that Red Skies has place just a little bit ahead of Lies in my eyes. I think it has to do with the pirates..there is no way that I can't love a good pirate adventure and this has that in sp...
