Hi Scott, a recent fan I picked up your series on Gentlemen Bastards, Lies of Locke, and Red Skies. I'm currently reading the third installment. I found your series off a G.R.R. Martin recommendation online. I'm a fan of your character Locke especially when I found out he was partly inspired from FF6 ( My favorite video game of all time). Shadow was my favorite character from that game. " He'd slit his mother's throat for a nickel". I find the life experiences that we see of Locke going down a dark path I wouldn't be surprised if he becomes a numbed out Merc like Shadow at the end of the saga.
Also, favorite moment of FF6 "no one can touch the people of Figaro" Edgar to Kefka before castle submerges under the desert. Would love to have that Figaro moment in the series down the road.
The character Jean has a lot of similarities to Sabin. Strago from book 2 is also another familiar name that comes out in book 2. I also enjoyed reading about the conflict of magic in your world and new inventions that could conflict with magic for power in your world.
