![]() That being said, if you enjoyed the first book buy this one now: a good romp that easily fills in time. Also there was a lot of them going back and forth - to sea, to various parties. ![]() In this book the plot line of them being poisoned and therefore blackmailed into their situation didn't really work for me. However only 4* as I felt this book's storyline was all at sea: in the Lies of Locke Lamora the story sets up a comfortable world, this gets destroyed and the characters then set about defeating the 'baddy'. I also greatly enjoyed the way the book played with elements of the "Master and Commander" type books by getting a lot of the nautical stuff spot on but then playing with the cultural expectations by having many of the things British sailors view as unlikely as necessary talisman for a safe / successful voyage. Set in the same world albeit a slightly different town / islands in the same society I found the story to have much that the first book enchanted me with in relation to the society, etc. This book follows on from the first book, although you probably can take this book as a stand alone. This is the successor to Scott Lynch's "The Lies of Locke Lamora" and was purchased as I've enjoyed that one so much. ![]() Had a hard job living up to its predecessor ![]()
