The Republic of Thieves by Scott Lynch

The Republic of Thieves (Gentleman Bastard, #3)

by Scott Lynch

After their adventures on the high seas, Locke and Jean are brought back to earth with a thump. Jean is mourning the loss of his lover and Locke must live with the fallout of crossing the all-powerful magical assassins, the Bonds Magi.

It is a fallout that will pit both men against Locke's own long-lost love. Sabetha is Locke's childhood sweetheart, the love of Locke's life and now it is time for them to meet again. Employed on different sides of a vicious dispute between factions of the Bonds, Sabetha has just one goal - to destroy Locke for ever.

The Gentleman Bastard sequence has become a literary sensation in fantasy circles and now, with the third book, Scott Lynch is set to seal that success.

I don't know how to rate this one. I just don't. I didn't love the story itself nearly as much as book 1 (or 2), but LOCKE AND JEAN. They own my heart, and I will go down with this (BFF-)ship.
