So I finally made it through the sequal to 'The Lies of Locke Lamora', and it was good despite the upset in my reading of it during final project rush. Both of these books are great to read. Their fun, and wonderfully written. The characters are wonderful one of my greatest disappointments in them is that more of the characters don't survive the first book to continue on into the later ones.
I felt that the second one fell short of the first in that it lacked some of the wonderfully enjoyable moments of camaraderie that the first one had. It got better towards the end of the book with a larger inclusion of the pirates and Jeans brief romantic fling. Which the ending of that could've been handled better as well. However both books contained a great deal of suspense and turns that kept the pages turning. So while not exactly what I wanted 'Red Seas Under Red Skies' was fun. :) Good in a swashbuckling, sort of way. ^_^ *poofs out*
