Where to start with The Gentleman Bastard Sequence

Three books in order, and then an honest note about what you are getting into, because this series and The Kingkiller Chronicle have the same problem and readers deserve to be told before they start rather than after.

  1. 1
    The Lies of Locke Lamora The Lies of Locke Lamora

    The one everybody recommends. A con in Camorr, told alongside the childhood that made the con artists, and it works completely on its own.

  2. 2
    Red Seas Under Red Skies Red Seas Under Red Skies

    Pirates, a casino and a different city. Divides people more than the first.

  3. 3
    The Republic of Thieves The Republic of Thieves

    Sabetha, finally, and the book that opens the larger plot the unwritten four are supposed to close.

Then what? The Thorn of Emberlain has no date, and there are four planned books rather than one. A draft of the fourth existed in 2019 and, as of July 2026, still needed stitching together and an ending. Any year on a retailer page for it is a placeholder.

A suggested way in, not an official one. The full list is below: tick anything off in either place.

Sync & backup

Your progress is saved on this device automatically. The code below takes a copy out and puts it back. Moving a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet is part of the subscription.

The code holds only this franchise. The link opens the tracker with your progress already filled in, good for showing someone where you're at. The image is a picture you can keep anywhere: scan the code on it with a phone, or drag the file back in below.

Every franchise you have touched, in one code.

Scan it with another device's camera, or paste the code in below. It never leaves your browser.

Drag a SagaList image here, or .

This reads the progress stored inside the picture, so nothing has to be retyped. If the image has been through a messaging app it may have been re-encoded and lost that: scan the code on it instead, or copy the code printed along the bottom.

Takes either kind of code. A single franchise code replaces that franchise, on any device. An everything code merges by default, so nothing you have ticked on this device is lost. Putting a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet is the part an account pays for.

Read only. This never changes what you have saved, and nothing leaves your browser. The code has to be their code for this same franchise: codes do not carry a name, so one from somewhere else may not be recognised as wrong.
