The tale rockets along though and whilst not as gripping as the end game with the grey king the story is still impossible to turn off. The story does not immerse you into lock's world as deeply as the first book did as a consequence. If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?Ī wider stage than the previous book in the series with more characters and settings. What does Michael Page bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?Ī depth of emotion and pace at the crucial scenes What was one of the most memorable moments of Red Seas Under Red Skies? The continuing adventures of these loveable rogues as they come to terms with the events of their last outing and start again is moving, funny and compelling. Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? That being said, if you enjoyed the first book buy this one now: a good romp that easily fills in time. Also there was a lot of them going back and forth - to sea, to various parties. In this book the plot line of them being poisoned and therefore blackmailed into their situation didn't really work for me. However only 4* as I felt this book's storyline was all at sea: in the Lies of Locke Lamora the story sets up a comfortable world, this gets destroyed and the characters then set about defeating the 'baddy'. I also greatly enjoyed the way the book played with elements of the "Master and Commander" type books by getting a lot of the nautical stuff spot on but then playing with the cultural expectations by having many of the things British sailors view as unlikely as necessary talisman for a safe / successful voyage. Set in the same world albeit a slightly different town / islands in the same society I found the story to have much that the first book enchanted me with in relation to the society, etc.
This book follows on from the first book, although you probably can take this book as a stand alone.
This is the successor to Scott Lynch's "The Lies of Locke Lamora" and was purchased as I've enjoyed that one so much. Had a hard job living up to its predecessor
