After about 30 pages I got the feeling that the book was going to be a complete retread of the story structure of the first 2 books, which I wasn’t looking forward to. Fortunately, that wasn't really the case. The message of this one felt different, and definitely one worth telling. If this series is unified by one concept it's definitely the feeling of belonging, and whereas b2 felt like it retread the same steps b1 did for the most part, Brigands & Breadknives felt like it had something new to say about it.
I think this book is stronger than the second, though it still doesn't really recapture the magic of the first. Not sure if it ever can be recaptured (and maybe that's okay). The side characters were fun. Zyll was great. Another strong ending.
