A series by Scott Lynch, the best I've ever read. Projected as seven books with two out so far... and posting here to say I think the third is to be published at the end of this year! Those who've loved the series will know we've waited some time to see the third, but the good fans have the utmost respect for Scott and what he's going through at the moment.
I currently professionally review for the publisher Hachette. Each month we get a catalogue of books we can order to review and yesterday I received Nov/Dec selections... and guess what was there. Republic of Thieves! I would hope this is concrete evidence enough - it must be done if the publishers are putting it up for review grabbings, yes?
I hope someone else here has read the series, and if not, please ask any questions so I can convince you to pick it up and give it a go. The author is one of the loveliest guys around - currently auctioning off sets of his rare books to raise money for Planned Parenthood as he disagrees with what's being done about them, and for the local volunteer Firefighters, as he's one.
Go ooon, give it a go. He's quite like Abercrombie (apparently, I still need to read The Blade Itself, it's staring at me right now) and he's just so much fun. Gah.
