Trying to fill the Gentleman Bastards void already. Nice short story in very classic Lynch style. He seems to have a thing for dynamic duos including a skinny, brainy dude and a heavy, hard-hitting dude. Liked the amount of lore and world building he managed to do in a much more condensed form.

It was an entertaining sketch. It could lead to interesting stories in the future. Unfortunately, and probably unfairly, it is not Locke Lamorra, and I suspect everything by Mr. Lynch is going to suffer in comparison to the series that I love. However, I would read more stories about these characters in the future in hopes that they'd be fleshed out somewhat.

Really fun short story. The humor brought me back to Lies of Locke Lamora. Definitely recommend.

A quick and enjoyable read
Battlefield story of mercenaries and wizards, well told, with characterizations that are engaging. I would read more of this world.

Fun, but I feel like Lynch can do better.
(Also no idea why this is an audiobook default)

Like most things Scott Lynch, I just wish I could get more of it. Fingers crossed that more of the Red Hats is on the way!
