It took me quite some time to read this book, but I really liked it. I wasn't expecting the final revelation, and I'll have to read it a couple of times more in order to link all the references and ideas expressed in the different narratives of the book.
The whole reflexion on surveillance society is also very interesting and timely.

These days, very few books keep me up until 2 at night. This one did it for me.
In a fantasy city inspired by Venice in the Renaissance, Locke Lamora is a thief. Not any common thief though, he's been brought up to be the BEST thief, along with his crew. He made me think of Arsène Lupin or Fantômas (minus the sadistic approach—which is taken by Lamora's enemies).
The action is fast-paced, the world is well made, but I regret that almost all major characters are men.

A nice little read with interesting ideas. I’ve been reading loooong books these last months, so it’s a good reprieve from the big-plot-storage mindset.
I especially liked how the setting is fully compréhensible as a Fantasy and as a sci-fi setting. The world works as both, the characters become more aware of the other side's point of view, as the plot works well in both ways.
The Laconian Empire has fallen, setting the thirteen hundred solar systems free from the rule …
The resolution is satisfying, and I felt that the parallels with Leviathan Wakes were a good send off for the whole series. I felt it was denser than volumes 7 and 8, but it might just be because it wrapped up the series

Ma première lecture sur l'ancienne traduction m'avait laissé un goût de vieux, mais là c'est beaucoup plus actuel, j'ai beaucoup mieux accroché.

…mais des lenteurs, une langue à la fois ampoulée et imprécise, et des détails qui me sortaient de la lecture, ce qui fait que j'ai mis longtemps à terminer ce livre.
Je ne sais pas si c'est propre à la collection Imaginaires de Albin Michel, mais les deux livres que j'ai récemment lus de cette collection étaient très verbeux, comme si, pour montrer que la SF peut être prise au sérieux, il faut qu'elle soit dans un style plus compliqué.
