Book Reviews of Red Seas Under Red Skies
Book Review: Really loved this tale
Summary: 5 Stars
After the thrill of finding a book like "The Lies of Locke Lamora", I was a little leary of picking up the next one as they seldom live up to the first...I loved this tale however and had a hard time closing it at night to sleep...I loved the dialog, the further investment into these characters, the nautical stuff and even that weird siren thing that lived in the passage...The best thing about it is that the Author is younger than me and shows no signs of slowing down! Keep the pen moving brother!!!Book Review: rushed ending; no suspense
Summary: 2 Stars
The ending seemed rush, with new characters popping out of nowhere at the last minute. The plot was overambitious. The schemes that they pulled off were unbelievable, they were too lucky to believe. Also, it became clear that Jean & Locke weren't gonna die...there's no suspense if they keep ending up in near-death situations & miraculously escape them everytime. And yeah, Lynch really bored me with every page at sea. I liked the first one though.Book Review: Entertaining, though not as much as the first book
Summary: 4 Stars
I thought the plot overall could've been better. After finishing it I found myself saying "that's it?". I thought the way everything came together was kind of a let down. Initially, the plot is awesome and you want them to succeed, only to find out that what they're really scheming is something totally different, with blah results. I like the series but hopefully the third book will be a little better.Book Review: Superb sequal
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent book. I find it difficult to buy most of what passes for fantasy these days, but Scott Lynch creates characters that you care about...and he isn't afraid to kill them. Any novel that can create emotion, even beyond the suspense of turning pages, is worth my time and money. Red Seas Under Red Skies does that, and I would recommend it to any who asked.Book Review: Scott Lynch does it again!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I absolutely loved this book! Our favorite thieves, Locke & Jean, up to their old tricks...and some new ones. Yes, the pirate aspect was unexpected, but it was simply a lot of fun. I enjoyed seeing more of Lynch's world and meeting some new and interesting characters. Trust me, if you liked Lies, you'll enjoy this book. I cannot wait for book 3 next spring!
