The Republic of Thieves

German Review on Gosureviews After 6 years I expected a better story. Sabetha, teased in the previous two books, turns out to be a very weak and shallow character. One of the main plot lines, their "love story" just doesn't work. They don't really have any chemistry together and later in the book I actually got annoyed whenever they had a scene together. It started very strong, but the main story was utterly boring and predictable, so much that I had a hard time finishing the book. The end made up for it a little though. We get some interesting revelations there, but it's rather a setup for Scott Lynchs next book "The Thorn of Emberlain". I guess for a lot of fans who waited so long for this release it will be a big disappointment.

An amazing read, though for me it wasn't as brilliant as the first and second one. That ending though :o

Vielleicht bin ich einfach schon zu alt dafür, aber ich fühle es einfach nicht. Ich habe den Prolog bereits zweifacher Geschwindigkeit gehört und trotzdem ging es mir nicht schnell genug. Die vorherigen Bücher hatten stets etwas Kleines, das mich zum Weiterhören animierte. Aber hier fehlt es mir einfach völlig und ich habe keine Lust, ca. 24h so zu verbringen. Vielleicht bekommt es ja noch mal eine Chance.
