Leser litt Norsk fantasy denne gangen
After their adventures on the high seas, Locke and Jean are brought back to earth …
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. In my mind is this a strength of the narrative as we for once know the same things as the main characters. 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 …

Let's see how the story about Locke and Jean continues
In his highly acclaimed debut, The Lies of Locke Lamora, Scott Lynch took us on …
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 …

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.

While it sucks getting sick is it a great excuse to wolf down half a book in a day.

Time to continue my re-read of the gentlemen bastards series
Depending on her veteran brother's benefits in a city where jobs outside the drug trade …
First of all I enjoyed the TV series more than the book. Both are a bit slow at the beginning, and to certain degrees follow different story lines, which is kinda expected. The world is kinda interesting, but the setting never gripped me as much as I hoped it would, and it is a depressing setting. All in all well worth a read. If you enjoyed the show you might be a bit disapointed by the book all depending on which part of the show you enjoyed the most.

This book took an unexpectedly long time to read, I guess commuting more by bike instead of public transport is partly to blame. The book had an interesting end, it did however take a little while to pick up steam.
Leigh Bardugo's grishaverse is a fun universe to dip back into, with some really memorable characters. While most of the story lines from the previous books are resolved are there as well seeds for new stories as well.
Been so long that I can't remember when I finished it... I do however remember that I enjoyed the book
@dnoate@bookwyrm.social jeg kan ikke huske at den fikk meg til å gråte, men nå noen år siden jeg leste den selv.
This book is set some years after The last mortal bond, and it is the first book in a new trilogy. There are repeat characters from his earlier books as well as some totally new ones, the amount of character development some of the characters go through is extremely large when compared to his previous books and I like it. Even if I don't necessarily always like the way the character develop is it mostly rooted in reasons that's understandable. The world is expanded quite a lot in this book and we learn even more of the history of it. And I'm really looking forward to see how things will play out in the next books. I think that most people would enjoy the book, and I think quite a few people will like this book even if they disliked the earlier books by Brian Staveley
Time to jump into the grishaverse again
