5.0
I picked up this book for its themes of brotherhood, found-family, and heist-adventure. It is all of these things in addition to an intricate plot and great character development. I really enjoyed the stories of little Locke and Chains. In some other stories, jumping back in time to visit your characters as children would seem superfluous. But no word, theme, side-story, flashback or piece of lore is wasted. It is all used to drive the story and characters to a satisfying conclusion!
Graphic: Torture and Violence
Minor: Sexual content
