It was a long time coming, but well worth waiting for. We've had hints about Sabetha over the last two books, and now we get to meet her in all her glory. Sabetha's relationship to Locke Lamora helped mold the man he is today, and it's a relationship full of twists, turns and romance, but the course...

3.5 stars. Good story that kept me entertained but my main issue was with Sabetha. I mean I was excited to finally meet her, and Scott Lynch is wonderful at writing in strong female characters as shown in the last book but I could NOT like Sabetha. And I wouldn't consider her a strong female charact...

Scott Lynch gave us plenty more on Locke’s background with the flashback scenes and Jean got some extra ‘training’ in Espara that was fun to hear about. I have to say the biggest plus to this book was to finally meet Sabetha and I was very pleased with who she turned out to be. She completed the big...

Enjoyable, though not as good as the previous books. The flashbacks were the highlights for me but didn't find Sabetha interesting enough.

3.5 Stars for a Long-Awaited Installment Random Ramblings The Republic of Thieves is the third installment of Scott Lynch's Gentleman Bastards series. As the previous novel was published in 2007, many of us have been waiting for long time to continue the story. I did not read this book as so...

When talking about 'Red Seas Under Red Skies' I mentioned that it was almost like 2 or 3 novels in one book. 'Republic of Thieves' is also two novels - but rather than being presented sequentially, they're mixed up. One starts where the last book left off, and the other is told in flashbacks to Lock...

Gods' immaculate piss, but this is an absolutely fantastic read that has rescued me from a serious and year long book slump. Lynch trades masterfully intricate plotting for some very serious character and relationship development in a necessary change for the series. The Republic of Thieves is wonde...

Mr. Lynch, you have me thoroughly captured by your humour, your writing, your characters and your awe-inspiring imagination regarding the complex cultures in the world of the Gentlemen Bastards.The Lies of Locke Lamora introduced me to this merry band of thieves, both making me crack up and breaking...

I'm going to try to avoid spoilers, or rather, will only have minor spoilers. For instance, anyone who has read the first two books knows Locke was in love with Sabetha and not over it. And anyone who has read the blurb for Republic of Thieves knows that Sabetha is to appear in this book. Got it?...
