I am so looking forward to Republic of Thieves coming out!
Alas, poor Jean. I would volunteer to try and cheer him up!

ahh, the mystery that is Merrain. my guess is she’s working for the Bondsmagi. Lynch put so much detail in that tattoo, that I bet we’ll be seeing that on someone else in a future book.

the poor GB’s, Father Chains really should have taught them the importance of SPENDING their fortunes before it can be taken from them. two books in a row and the boys have ended up with just the clothes on their backs.

This time around has definitely improved the reading experience. Not sure if it’s because of the readalong and all the discussion but I just had a lot of fun moments reading about the pirates. I’m really keen to see what’s next too.
Twitterpated – such a great word – I’m going to have to find a way of putting that into a sentence now!

I enjoyed both and am intrigued to see where Lynch goes next…

I do like me some dragons. Don’t think I anticipate them in a Lynch novel, but it made me smile for a moment imagining Jean and Locke’s reaction.

Man, I hadn’t even thought of Jealosy as her motivation, but yeah that could make sense.

I didn’t like Requin at first and even at the end I wouldn’t go so far as to say he was a lovable charcter but I thought that he and Selendri had a great relationship and he was always confident in his own set up and with good reason really.

Lynn :D
