I just finished reading Republic of Thieves earlier this week, and there’s a moment towards the end of the book that I really enjoyed. To throw it back a little further, there’s a moment in Red Seas where Jean essentially tells Locke that he doesn’t own the memory of Sabetha, that they were all raised together and he misses her as well. Going into Republic of Thieves, I was expecting most interactions with her to be between her and Locke (for obvious reasons), but I was hoping her and Jean would get to interact to expand on Jean’s point from the last book. Although I wish there were more moments like this, I was thrilled that Sabetha and Jean got to share a scene with just the two of them where they could let their guards down and reconnect, even if it was brief. I hope to see more of this in the future (fingers crossed she comes back)!
