As much as anything, I liked this book because it didn't follow the exact script that the first two did. Instead of an Oceans Eleven heist, the job in this book was rigging a political election. In the end, it honestly all seemed fairly pointless, but it was fun to read all of the insults Scott Lynch comes up with, and all of the hellraising his characters pull off.

Like the first two books, there's also a secondary storyline taking place years ago when Locke & Jean were still learning to be thieves. That story was... well.. meh. I guess I had a hard time being entertained by the whole Sheakespeare-esque stage actor thing.

Yes, there's Sabetha. She's a nice complement to Jean & Locke. I'll leave it at that.

The final chapter was kind of cool, although the final premise was basically lifted from the Harry Potter books. Hopefully Lynch actually makes use of this little plot device in future books. Rowling sure as Hell didn't.
