I think this is going to be one of those series that just feels like it was written for me. Locke and Jean are such fantastic characters that I love because they're Not Good People and are so willing to fuck around and find out. The best way I can describe it is that Locke is just one of those guys I love watching suffer. He'll eventually find a way out of whatever hole he ended up in and he'll get the last word at the end of the day. And I'm going to eat it up the whole time.
The scheme this time around already started complex with another huge heist in the works, and then Complications had to arise and then there were more schemes on top of more lies until it was all one delicate house of cards about to come crumbling down. And I loved every second of it!!! The world is so interesting and the writing is so good. The worst I can say is that part 2 slowed down a bit by the nature of where the story went, but I liked those moments so I'm not complaining! From what I remember, I think I liked book one more, but I'd have to reread it to know for certain. As it stands now, both are great and I definitely want to read book three sooner rather than later.
