Michael Page is a fantastic narrator!

What a delight to listen to Michael Page and be transported into the story. He always does a superb job. I love all the Gentleman Bastard books and can't wait for the fourth!

Funny worth carrying on the series.

A decent listen again, the humour and sarcasm keep you going through some parts. I enjoyed the city parts but I hate books on boats. Locke’s attitude and humour again made me stick it out. I will get the next book to finish it.

Here come a cult Classic

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes would , devilish sub plots and twisting ingenious characters make this fast pace novel really something for other authors to shoot jealous looks at. a young orphan is indoctrinated into a thieves guild. imagine Oliver twist crossed with Artemis fowl in a fantasy venetian city.

Who was your favorite character and why?

the twins as they have great banter.

What about Michael Page’s performance did you like?

A truly superb vocal armoury, the accents and inflections this man can create make him something to enjoy.

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

"The thief who stole to much"

Any additional comments?

A* book and narration, please take my recommendation my fellow audible customers you wont be disappointed. (I hope)

Another great story

I thoroughly enjoyed the first book in this series and the sequel proved just as good. The characters continue to be well written and genuine and the story moves along at a great pace. Whilst maybe not as many twists and complex there was more than enough to keep it interesting

hijinks on the highseas

loved this, after getting to know the characters in the first book, it's great to see them grow within this story. switching it to the high seas was a great idea, and the twists and turns were exciting throughout. highly recommend and probably have to go listen to the third now before I can move on to any other books, these are just that gripping. highly recommend.

cemented as a firm favourite

I love the world, the fully fleshed out characters, the beautiful illustration of the lands and cities, the colourful language, the plot thick with intrigue and twists. This story very nearly made me cry.
excellent narration, I am sold on Scott Lynch and Michael Page.

An excellent addition to an excellent series.

I am a huge fan of anything nautical. So, upon seeing the title and cover of the second novel in the 'Gentlemen Bastards Sequence' I got as excited as a virgin at a high school disco. I am happy to say the story did not disappoint.

Red Seas Under Red Skies focuses a lot more on Jean than the previous book, something that really adds to the story. You still get a lot of Locke and a lot of their past with the Gentlemen Bastards (something that, given the way the first book ended, takes the sting away from previous events).

The story consists of Locke and Jean trying to ply their trade as professional thieves in a new city. Their efforts land them in a new sort of employment, that of their brother thieves upon the waves; pirates.

Red Skies Under Red Seas, as with The Lies of Locke Lamora, will have the reader feeling a whole host of emotions ranging from happiness to downright misery. Not quite the levels of shock you get from the first book, but shock all the same. The ending also sets up nicely for the third book and will have the reader/listener thinking 'how will they get out of this thoroughly impossible situation?'.
