The Republic of Thieves

“The Republic of Thieves,” by Scott Lynch, is the 3rd book in his Gentlemen Bastards series. From the time it was first scheduled to be published to the time it was actually published, I managed to conceive a child, birth him, and celebrate 4 birthdays. Was this book worth the wait… and the numerous times I pre-ordered it only to have the pre-order cancelled?

In a word, yes.

You may note the 5 star rating and assume that I’m just a Scott Lynch fan and I’m already primed to like this book, would give it 5 stars no matter what. Without going too deep into spoiler town, I’m going to justify the 5 star review with one sentence.

We get to meet Sabetha.
