Book Two in the Rogues of the Republic series.
Who would have thought a book of naughty poems by elves could mean the difference between war and peace? But if stealing the precious volume will keep the Republic and the Empire from tearing out each other's throats, rogue soldier Isafesira de Lochenville - "Loch" to friends and foes alike - is willing to do the dishonest honors. With her motley crew of magic-makers, law-breakers, and a talking warhammer, she'll match wits and weapons with dutiful dwarves, mercenary knights, golems, daemons, an arrogant elf, and a sorcerous princess.
But getting their hands on the prize - while keeping their heads attached to their necks - means Loch and company must battle their way from a booby-trapped museum to a monster-infested library, and from a temple full of furious monks to a speeding train besieged by assassins. And for what? Are a few pages of bawdy verse worth waging war over? Or does something far more sinister lurk between the lines?
From Patrick Weekes, one of the minds behind the critically acclaimed Mass Effect video game series, The Prophecy Con continues the action-packed fantasy adventure that kicked off in The Palace Job.

Great story!!!! Couldn't get enough. Every character was brought to life until you could feel their pain and triumph. Will listen again.
Fantastic

A great continuation after The Palace Job.

So, it was a jolt to adjust to hearing purring English-y bedroom tones drawling the exposition and scenery, let alone the action sequences. Decidedly piquant, and I may never wish to adjust back to more ordinary narrative distance!
When I read the book, I thought it was less well-structured than the first book, and found myself annoyed by the Casino Royale subplot. It was redeemed by the narrator's performance, though, and now it hangs together better in my mind. I'm very glad I got the Audible version anyway.
While Brilliant Audio should obviously make the effort to hire some of the outstanding Black voice actors to perform books which focus on a dark-skinned person belonging to a formerly enslaved race, Justine Eyre was fabulous in her way. I'll certainly look for more voice (and screen) work from her.
Outstanding performance, worth initial adjustment

Even the foes are not one-dimentional, but have their own stories and their own shades of light and dark.
The reader was just as amazing as the writer. Her accents were spot-on and she does "voices" perfectly with just the right inflections and pacing.
excellent story with depth

This was a great finish to the story

The story, while seemingly a classic tale of good vs. evil, has so many twists and turns, there's no way even the most savvy reader can guess what is coming up next. Nothing is quite what it seems on the surface. I am sure there will be critics who will state that the fights are too far-fetched and that many of the events are not sufficiently explained. I have always felt that the reason for reading a good fantasy is to escape to a world where the impossible is possible, where the good guys win against all odds, and where strength of heart can overcome physical weakness. Otherwise, what's the point of fantasy?
There is a lot of violence, but it's more of a swashbuckling type than graphic and gorey. There's some sexual innuendo and a smattering of foul language, but nothing overly offensive, probably just enough that I won't be passing this book to my 13 year old son to read.
I am tucking both this book and The Palace Job away to read again and am very much hoping that we have not heard the last from Patrick Weekes and The Rogues of the Republic!
Non-stop swashbuckling fun and surprises

I will say the plot mechanations gelt a little too twisty in this book, but they all made sense in the end. The effortless mix of high fantasy elements with wise cracking heist team is just so fun.
A great installment of a wonderful series
