Books

I finished "The Republic of Thieves" by Scott Lynch the other day. The latest in the tales of the Gentlemen Bastards finally introduces us to Sabetha, the phantom love of Locke Lamora who has teased us over two books. It also takes us to the homeland of the Bondsmagi and gives more insight as to their society.

Oh, and it goes into the mystery of just who Locke Lamora is.

It's an excellent story and up to Lynch's normal high standards. It was an even mix of present-day with the lads doing their shenanigans and a flashback in which we get to see the late, lamented Galdo brothers as well as the young Bastards in action with Sabetha in the mix.

Excellent reading.

I'm now on to "House of Blades" by Will Wight. Part of his "The Traveller's Gate Trilogy" (which apparently has two books out), it's a fun read thus far. I'm about halfway through. Book two is out in Kindle format, but alas I lack a Kindle and will likely wait for a dead tree version as I've managed with book one.

Then it's time to search for new reading material. The next Dresden Files book - "Skin Game" isn't due out 'till January, per Wikipedia.

Sigh.
