Fantasy. Fiction. Literature. After their adventures on the high seas, Locke and Jean are brought back to earth with a thump.

non mi piacciono le campagne elettorali, non mi piacciono i maghi e non mi piace Sabetha
il libro complessivamente invece si (

I found this book to be extremely disappointing. The writing was poor compared to the first two, the interpersonal relationships were absurdly unrealistic, and the plot was contrived at every turn. I had almost no interest in the play, yet was forced to read long sections of it that were totally unnecessary. Overall, very poor. I want to say I'll give future books a shot, but honestly I probably won't... (

All I'm going to say is, I loved it. (

The book was good, but I'm not liking the romance (or lack thereof) angle nor the sorcery angle. :/ (

I will write a longer review later but having finished the book tonight I can only say, "I love the Gentlemen Bastards." This book and this series are great. I know it's going to be a wait for the next one but I thrilled this one wrapped up the main story :) (

Epigraph

Dedication

For Jason McCray,
one man who in his time
has played many parts.

First words

Place ten dozen hungry orphan thieves in a dank burrow of vaults and tunnels beneath what used to be a graveyard, put them under the supervision of one partly crippled old man, and you will soon find that governing them becomes a delicate business.
