Description Conducive To Books The Republic of Thieves (Gentleman Bastard #3)
With what should have been the greatest heist of their career gone spectacularly sour, Locke and his trusted partner, Jean, have barely escaped with their lives. Or at least Jean has. But Locke is slowly succumbing to a deadly poison that no alchemist or physiker can cure. Yet just as the end is near, a mysterious Bondsmage offers Locke an opportunity that will either save him or finish him off once and for all.Magi political elections are imminent, and the factions are in need of a pawn. If Locke agrees to play the role, sorcery will be used to purge the venom from his body - though the process will be so excruciating he may well wish for death. Locke is opposed, but two factors cause his will to crumble: Jean's imploring - and the Bondsmage's mention of a woman from Locke's past: Sabetha. She is the love of his life, his equal in skill and wit, and now, his greatest rival.
Locke was smitten with Sabetha from his first glimpse of her as a young fellow orphan and thief-in-training. But after a tumultuous courtship, Sabetha broke away. Now they will reunite in yet another clash of wills. For faced with his one and only match in both love and trickery, Locke must choose whether to fight Sabetha - or to woo her. It is a decision on which both their lives may depend.

An unedited preview of the first 5500 words of the Republic of Thieves can be read here. Publication has also been pushed back to September, 2013.I'm sorry all you gentlemen bastards, but now we wait.
3.5/5 StarsLet me begin by saying that if I read this book without knowing about Scott Lynchs struggle with depression during his 6 years time of writing this book, Ill probably rate this book lower. This doesnt mean that the book received a better rating from me because of his depression itself, no it doesn't. Its because the knowledge of that fact provide better understanding to some context in this book, specifically to why some parts are infuriating to read and why there are times when the
Word count: about 250 000 or something, just a rough estimateRating: Bouncing around like a unicorn on a pogo stick + why do you keep on hitting me in the face with a brick while I'm trying to have fun? = (yes, you've guessed it) MIND NUMBING CONCOCTION OF AWESOME AND HORRID. I'm sorry, but there is no way to keep it brief. First of all, its a long book. Yes, reading it undeniably takes a while, but Ive very much enjoyed it in general. Dont let the length discourage you from picking that one up!
"You're trying to be charming again," she said softly, "but I choose not to be charmed, Locke Lamora." Long last, after three hefty books, we finally meet Locke's lost love, Sabetha Belacoros.Quick crash course for those with short-term memory loss: Sabetha was a Gentleman Bastard and is hinted to be romantically involved with Locke, and then left for some unknown reason. Locke still loves her, but is slightly bitter about it. That's from the first two books. In this one, we finally meet the
(This review doesnt really contain spoilers until the second part, when I say there are spoilers. However, some vague information about earlier books is drawn upon in the first part. If youre being cautious, dont read this review.)Upon first discovering its impending release...Sabetha?!...Wait. Wait, you mean we actually get to meet Sabetha?Well, Jesus. I've been wanting to meet this 'Sabetha' forever. If she's the reason Locke is both obsessed with and wary of red-heads, I want to know who she
I really enjoyed reading this series. I love the Locke and Jean bromance. And I'm delighted with the humour, though crude, is strangely eloquent. However, the quality of the books seem to be dropping as the series progressed. As engaging as the plot was, The Republic of Thieves did suffer from really uneven pacing; some setpieces were dragged out, some rushed through. What I did absolutely love from this book was the backstory Interludes which brought the reader back to Locke's much younger days
