Summary
Escaping from the attentions of the Bondsmagi Locke Lamora, the estwhile Thorn of Camorr and Jean Tannen have fled their home city. Taking ship they arrive in the city state of Tal Varrar where they are soon planning their most spectacular heist yet; they will take the luxurious gaming house, The Sinspire, for all of its countless riches.
No-one has ever taken even a single coin from the Sinspire that wasn't won on the tables or in the other games of chance on offer there.
But, as ever, the path of true crime rarely runs smooth and Locke and Jean soon find themselves co-opted into an attempt to bring the pirate fleet of the notorious Zamira Drakasha to justice. Fine work for thieves who don't know one end of galley from another. And all the while the Bondsmagi are plotting their very necessary revenge against the one man who believes e has humiliated them and lived; Locke Lamora.

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?'.

Even better than book 1
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes, once the story catches your interest it is hard to stop listening, at the beginning of this book I felt that it was just more of the same, but as the story unfolded it got better and better.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Red Seas Under Red Skies?
It would spoil the story to say exactly but it was when one of the characters was killed, it was so heartbreaking I cried.
Which character – as performed by Michael Page – was your favourite?
I love Locke, but I also like Jean a lot
Any additional comments?
The book was excellent made better by the brilliant narration. Michael Page did a fantastic job and the voices of the characters are superb, especially the sea captain who trained Locke and Jean. The kitten made me smile.

The Kingkiller Chronicles meets Hustle
Likeable conmen, twists and turns, sadness, laughs, excitement and well read. Oh, and pirates too.
Can't wait to listen to the next one.

Great, exciting and twisting story!
All in all a great story, characters and narration. Only the many similar names and different identities of many characters make it a bit hard to follow at times.
