About this listen
He's back! The long-awaited return of the most exciting new commercial fantasy writer of the 21st century. After their adventures on the high seas, Locke and Jean are brought back to earth with a thump. Jean is mourning the loss of his lover and Locke must live with the fallout of crossing the all-powerful magical assassins, the Bonds Magi. It is a fallout that will pit both men against Locke's own long lost love.
Sabetha is Locke's childhood sweetheart, the love of Locke's life and now it is time for them to meet again. Employed on different sides of a vicious dispute between factions of the Bonds, Sabetha has just one goal - to destroy Locke for ever. The Gentleman Bastard sequence has become a literary sensation in fantasy circles and now, with the third book, Scott Lynch is set to seal that success.

I really, really wanted to like this book, but in the end I was just exhausted from waiting for something interesting or surprising to happen. I finished the book at night, turned off the lights and immediately went to sleep. It didn't make me buzz with excitement or awe, it was just something I had to get over so that I could focus on another book.
I would not recommend this for anyone who is not already obsessed with Lynch's world or who has very high expectations and was slightly disappointed by Red Seas Under Red Skies (which was good, don't get me wrong). Read a summary if you're curious. Save yourself the time and the money.
In its defense, I will say that the interludes were pretty cute and did a better job of entertaining me than the main story line. The task to which The Gentlemen Bastards are appointed to at first seemed a bit dull and slow-going for me, but once I got into it, I was able to appreciate the labor Lynch put into building up that story within the story of the book.

Another great performance by Michael, always a pleasure to hear clear diction, correct pronunciations and varied voices.
