Once a Big Lie was let out in the world, it seemed to grow on its own and needed little tending or worry to bend to the situation.” you guys, this story does not suffer from a sophomore slump. its a brand new adventure thats luring, nautical, and full of scoundrels. Did Seas suffer from a bit of a sophomore slump? Yeah. A bit. But you won't find me bitching, because the only thing I could say was something along the lines of, "O! Woe is me! I was expecting pure untrammeled brilliance and all I got was mere shining excellence! Also, they didn't have any loganberry cream cheese at the café this morning, so I had to have blueberry instead! Alas! I shall now weep and write poetry in my journal!"Anyway, there’s not too much to talk to you guys about until we’ve gone through the chapters, is there? So, I’ll get right to it! Remember that at the bottom of the Read-Along there are five questions for you to answer… ENJOY! 🙂 I do not expect to change your mind but i hope that you will at least consider that I and others will not be buying your work because of these issues. I have been reading science fiction and fantasy for years and i know that I speak for a great many people. I hope you might stop to think about the sales you will lose because you want to bring your political corectness and foul language into fantasy. if we wanted those things we could go to the movies. Think about this! Another absolute slam dunk by Scott Lynch! Gentlemens Bastard 2 does the rare feet of improving on the original formula of the first novel!! an outstanding fantasy novel and a breathtakingly impressive debut. The action never flags, and the sensory and scenic detail is extraordinary."

Books by Scott Lynch

Lynch uses his gift of time jumps (VE Schwab should really take notes) and each jump provided additional context for a present day event. It covers the journey from Camorr to Tal Verrar and the new con they're running. Two teams of two play Carousel Hazard. At the end of each hand a device at the centre of the table is spun and the losers must drink the two vials that fall from its great store. These vials contain liquor of varying potency – the harshness of which is covered up with fruit juice and oils. The only way a team loses is when they are too drunk to continue. Theoretically, because the rules say that immediate default occurs if a player touches the carousel, it ‘should’ be impossible to cheat.This is not one of those Fantasy novels with a secret that you would only find out after reading the novel. This is one of those adventure types that would reveal the outcome of the mission in the end. I like those kinds of novels, but this one wasn't that gripping. I'm not entirely sure what went wrong, but the plot could've been better. I'm really hoping the next novel wouldn't be that boring.
