Scott Lych's sequel continues to excel in just about everything that the Lies of Locke Lamora did. While the main story may not be as unpredictable, the fantastical settings and characterization are superb. In many fantasy series, the main protagonist can sometimes end up being one of the less interesting characters. With the Gentleman Bastards, this is thankfully never the case. 8.5/10.
Graphic: Death, Violence, Blood, and Murder
Moderate: Kidnapping, Grief, Fire/Fire injury, Gaslighting, and Alcohol
Minor: Confinement and War
