A few years has passed since the last time we saw Locke and Jean, and they have established themselves in the city of Tal Verrarr planning another spectacular heist. It's interesting to see how they deal with everything that's they face of challenges in they way of their heist, and how they deal with the outfall of both them and the ending of the last book. Even though we have moved away from the city of Camorr is the worldbuilding still great and we get to visit quite a few interesting places, and meet a few interesting persons. A few potential action sequences where cut from the book, however the way it was done was quite clever so I can't be to hard about it.

It's a great book that I'd recomend to everyone that have read The Lies of Locke Lamora if you haven't I'd recomend that you start there, although you'll probably be fine jumping into things here as well. The main downside of th Gentleman Bastard sequence is that it's far from finished, and the gap between book 3 and 4 is on over 10 years.
