Sabetha doesn't appear yet on the first book lol.

BTW this is one of the best books I've ever had the pleasure of reading.
The characters are interesting, the dialogues are witty, and the pacing is just perfect.

My favourite part of the book:-

“Some day, Locke Lamora,” he said, “some day, you’re going to f*** up so magnificently, so ambitiously, so overwhelmingly that the sky will light up and the moons will spin and the gods themselves will shit comets with glee. And I just hope I’m still around to see it.”
“Oh please,” said Locke. “It’ll never happen.”

And this dialogue came just at the right moment.

I'm halfway through the second book, Red Seas Under Red Skies, and it just doesn't match with the brilliance of the first book.
