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.

The fallout of Red Seas Under Red Skies, greatly influences the premise behind this book, as this book is set about two months after the last one.

The story is interesting and it contains a few huge revelations about some of the characters. The character development is great and the world feels like lived in real place even though we again have new locations. The one big downside of the book is that it ends on a cliffhanger and that it is eleven year since this book was released.

If you liked any of the previous books read it, and I think most people that like fantasy will enjoy what we currently have of the Gentleman Bastards. My suggestion is to start at the first book however you …
