The Republic of Thieves

Gentleman Bastards, Book 3

De: Scott Lynch

Narrado por: Michael Page

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • In the third book of the “gorgeously realized” (George R. R. Martin) epic fantasy caper Gentleman Bastard Sequence, Locke Lamora must make the hardest decision of his life . . . or death.

“Fast paced, fun, and impossible to put down . . . Locke and company remain among the most engaging protagonists in fantasy.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

ONE OF PASTE’S BEST FANTASY BOOKS OF THE DECADE

With the greatest heist of their career gone spectacularly sour, con artist extraordinaire Locke Lamora and his trusted partner, Jean, have barely escaped with their lives. Or at least Jean has. Locke is slowly succumbing to a lethal poison that no alchemist can cure.

With the end nearing, Locke’s only hope is to accept a mysterious Bondsmage’s offer: act as a political pawn in the Magi elections, and in exchange be healed. But the lifesaving sorcery promises to rival even the most excruciating death, and Locke refuses. Until the Bondsmage invokes the name of Sabetha, the love of Locke’s life, his equal in skill and wit . . . and now his greatest rival. From his first glimpse of Sabetha as a fellow orphan and thief-in-training, Locke was smitten. But after a tumultuous courtship, she broke away. Now they will reunite in another clash of wills.

Faced with his only equal in both love and trickery, Locke must choose whether to fight Sabetha—or woo her. It is a decision on which both of their lives may depend.

PRAISE FOR SCOTT LYNCH

“A bright new voice in the fantasy genre.”—George R. R. Martin

The Republic of Thieves

Red Seas Under Red Skies

“Lynch hasn’t merely imagined a far-off world, he’s created it, put it all down on paper—the smells, the sounds, the people, the feel of the place. The novel is a virtuoso performance, and sf/fantasy fans will gobble it up.”—Booklist (starred review)

loved yet another one by Scott Lynch

such an amazing story. just as good as the last 2. excited to we where he takes it.

Great series

I have enjoyed all three books so far. First one the most but I thought all three were excellent and unique from each other.

Great addition to the series

Loved every book so far. This one doesn’t disappoint despite some other reviews. Can’t wait for the next one!

Suspenseful and Satisfying

It followed some story lines I'd been wanting, plus hit so many brand new things. I was on the edge of my seat, wondering and worrying.

And as with the prior two, it leaves me wanting so many more answers, and so many new stories.

Love this Narrator!

Can i ask that Michael Page be the only narrator Audible uses for fantasy novels?

Fun story, excellent performance

Really liked how the timeline was used in this. The narration was incredible, Michael does an impeccable job with the voices/accents for each character. Good stuff!

great book

I
I'm just trying to get the 15 words. this is a great book. you should read it if you like the first two at times. the relationship between the two main characters that you already know about is a little bit eyeball inducing but overall I'm glad I read it and can't wait for the fourth

Intricate story telling!

The complexity of this tale and the use of language stirs my admiration! It is a joy to listen to!

Some details unnecessary, other details highly exceptional.

This story excellently wraps up so many loose ends and opens up more questions and curiosities I greatly look forward to reading about. Though, I'd have preferred some details spared, due to context of content, the story overall was beyond what I'd expected or asked for.

Another great Gentleman Bastards story.

With an interesting main story, and a secondary line from the main characters past that is masterful in my opinion, this book is a must read for fantasy readers that want something unlike most other fantasy stories.
