I know it's old news but...

Sabetha — Tue, 08/26/2008 - 21:32

I know it's old news now but... what DOES everyone think of the blurb for Republic of Thieves? If you haven't seen it yet or need a refresher:

[spoiler alert]
"Having pulled off the greatest heist of their career, Locke and his trusted partner in thievery, Jean, have escaped with a tidy fortune. But, poisoned by an enemy from his past, Locke is slowly dying. And no physiker or alchemist can help him. Yet just as the end is near, a mysterious Bondsmagi offers Locke an opportunity that will either save him-or finish him off once and for all. Magi political elections are imminent, and the factions are in need of a pawn. If Locke agrees to play the role, sorcery will be used to purge the venom from his body-though the process will be so excruciating he may well wish for death.

Locke is opposed, but two factors cause his will to crumble: Jean's imploring-and the Bondsmagi's mention of a woman from Locke's past: Sabetha. The love of his life. His equal in skill and wit. Locke was smitten with Sabetha from his first glimpse of her as a young fellow-orphan and thief-in-training. But after a tumultuous courtship, Sabetha broke away. Now they will reunite in yet another clash of wills. For the opposition knows of Locke's recruitment and has cleverly secured Sabetha as their countermeasure. Faced with his one and only match in both love and trickery, Locke must choose whether to fight Sabetha-or to woo her. It is a decision on which his life may depend. "
[spolier end]

Keeping in mind that this is a 'supposed' blurb - whatever that means. Does that it could be a fake?
Anyway, as someone else said, i think the blurb gives away too much - especially considering the thing with the poison. I think it points out a lot of obvious stuff involving Locke and Sabetha too. Personally, I am sooo excited about Sabetha and Locke reuniting! Seriously. Can. Not. Wait. :D

First time I've seen the blurb, so thanks for posting it.

;)

Now I'm even more psyched and ready for this novel. Although I don't trust the February date for publication, I sincerely hope I'm wrong and amazon is correct. This sounds like another brilliant and entertaining plot from Lynch.

Locke versus Sabetha...

This could get very interesting.
