*BANGS ON TABLE* GENTLEMEN BASTARDS. I've bee lurking on your blog for like two years now and I cannot even tell you how pleased I am that someone I admire so much likes these books that I adore and feel are so underrated.
SHRIEK omg!!!! this is so nice and I saw this reply... literally 3 days ago I think but then forgot to reply immediately and then I went back into my activity to find it thinking NO I MUST RESPOND ABOUT BOOK!!
The books are amazing! While I do read a lot, I hardly ever have patience for any book over 300 pages and Lynch gets me through literal doorstoppers. Each book also has a really satisfying end plotline and there’s enough subplots to keep me going through the middle. Red Seas, Red Skies wasn’t my fave because I’m not into naval plots, but I loved the characters/writing enough that I still liked it. I hope that the series eventually goes back to Camorr, though! YASS FANTASY VENICE
I will confess that I am absolutely 100% invested in Locke and Jean making out. And the book’s general pattern of Locke getting into utter distress and then Jean saves him.
so those are my thoughts on the gentlemen bastard series aka that ongoing fantasy series i’m dreadfully into although i generally loathe the format
