The Republic of Thieves-ocalypse is nigh, and just one thin week (gulp!) separates the book from retailers’ shelves. I would characterize early reviews and reactions as gratifyingly and overwhelmingly positive. For your edification, I’ve rounded up the ones that have been called to my attention, including one or two that are not overwhelmingly positive, and listed them below:
SFX is
extremely kind, granting it 5 out of 5 stars. Over the Effing Rainbow
recommends murdering all who stand between you and a copy of this book. Pat’s Fantasy Hotlist
is not pleased. Little Red Reviewer is
enthusiastic about nearly everything, with one quibble. Alex Shepherd at Fantasy Faction
calls it “…an excellent addition to a stimulating series.” Neth Space
feels the love. Fixed on Fantasy
finds much to appreciate but also has strong reservations. Shorty Monster declares it
“very much worth the wait.” SFF Book Reviews
has reservations, but gives it 8 out of 10. Nerds of a Feather
also gives it 8/10. SFFWorld
believes the novel could have used some trimming here and there but is otherwise quite successful. Publishers Weekly, in a starred review,
pronounces it “fast paced, fun, and impossible to put down.” Mirrored from
