EXCUSE ME I JUST FINISHED READING A 700 PAGE ADULT FANTASY BOOK WHERE IS MY MEDAL???????? For real though, this was really fun! I might be leaning more towards a 3.5 because things reeeaaally started to drag for me right before the big hurrah at the end, but I still enjoyed it a heckin' ton overall. I may even consider carrying on with the series someday! Who am I?!Back when I was first published, people made a lot of comparisons between me and Scott Lynch. The sentiment was mostly along the lines of "Pat Rothfuss is the next Scott Lynch!" Here's the thing, Lies of Lock Lamora had come out almost exactly a year before my first book, The Name of the Wind. It was Scott's first book, the first in a fantasy series. The world was gritty and real, and it had knocked everyone over with how good it was. So I knew it was a flattering comparison, but at the time, I
locke lamora could rob me of all im worth and i would literally get down on my knees and thank him for the honour. he is the most deceptively clever, enticingly cunning, and gentlemanly bastard i have ever read and i cant get enough of him or his crew. you guys, this story is unreal. its so morally wrong that you dont even want it to be right. its that luring, that gritty, that bold. its masterfully chaotic - so many subplots, so many characters, so much world-building. theres never a dull
10.07.18: Kindle offer for 1.99$. I loved this book although it is not perfect and there were some things about it that annoyed me a tiny bit. But well.. love is not a logical thing so...As other reviewers said it is combination of Ocean 11 (with a younger and more cheekier main character) and the Godfather. I would also add the bloodiness of Game of Thrones ((view spoiler)[ and the inclination to kill some of the lovable characters (hide spoiler)]) and some Jaws.The main character Locke Lamora
I'll be blunt up front and share that The Lies of Locke Lamora is one of my favorite books this year.I loved it. Ever freaking word of every line. While the main plot of the book features heist, treachery and more mutinies than you could shake a stick at the heart of the novel lies in the epic bromance that is the Gentlemen Bastards. I am a huge fan of the family that you choose yourself trope, so Locke and his gang of misfits tickled at my heartstrings. Make no mistake, theyre neither gentle
My legs are so toned from climbing the stairs back to a higher moral ground after reading this book but I would still throw the version of myself who hasnt picked it up sooner down a set of stairs because this was the most fun I had in a while why did I deprive myself of it? No really. Is anything as pure as a heist book? Is anything as good and exciting and forthright as a heist book, I ask you? So, what's this book about? The Lies of Locke Lamora, not-so-delicately traces the path back to
