The Lies of Locke Lamora
by Scott Lynch
· published 2006 · read 2016-10-19
★★★★☆
Gripping heist adventures in a unique and well-built world: Locke, Jean, Bug, the twins and Chains grew close to my heart really soon. There is a phase in the beginning where the book is going slowly and the characters don't mean anything to you, but it works well in hindsight, and it didn't feel like it was dragging on to me.
The Republic of Thieves
by Scott Lynch
· published 2013 · read 2018-06-11
★★★★☆
This was terrific. We get Locke, Jean, and Sabetha, their backstory (Scott pulls off the old past-present alternating chapters well), and a contest with unfair rules and unfairer outcome. I loved how, again, Scott makes clear that the women in the story (mostly Sabetha, but not only) have agency, and character. No matter if they choose to fuck people or not, their choices are shown to be theirs and valid, and men who don't respect that are shown to be assholes. It's great.
Red Seas Under Red Skies

★★★★☆
3.5 stars for me, a really, really solid follow-up to a wonderful first part. Excited for the last one.
