Red Seas Under Red Skies is by Scott Lynch. The second installment of the fantasy Gentleman Bastard series. After the epic battle at the end of the first book, Locke Lamora and his trusted friend Jean arrive in Tal Verrar with a complicated plan to rob the Sinspire, the most exclusive and tightly guarded gambling house on the island. At the moment their plan is coming to fruition someone learns their true identities and blackmails them into passing themselves off as pirates to start a rebellion. But Locke and Jean have their own plans to complete their original plan and to get revenge on their blackmailer. Fans of the first book will not be disappointed - this plot is every bit as convoluted as the first book. Twists within twists within twists.
Ratings: 12th grade - 8 out of 10 - AC (mature thematic content) - V (violence).
