A little bit Dickens, a little bit Ocean‘s 11.

Worth the hype.

I might be the last person alive to read this & I‘ve had the nice hardcovers for awhile. It‘s just embarrassing.

Again, great banter!! I loved Locke, Jean & Bug! Exactly what I wanted and better than I expected!

Highly recommend!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2

wanderinglynn I haven‘t read it, so you‘re not the *last* one. 😉 7mo
Twainy @wanderinglynn thank you! I‘m new ish to fantasy so I feel like I‘ve got a lot of ground to cover to catch up. 😁🤗 7mo

This has been on my radar for awhile, but a recommendation from my BIL, I was finally convinced. Did this book as a buddy read with my husband, and it was fun to check in about all the unexpected twists as we progressed at different paces.

A good balance of breakneck plot (so many legitimately surprising twists), complex characterization of the MC, and well-realized world building.

6 of Crows fans will enjoy this more adult heist gang story.

Saknicole BIL, Husband…. Swoon. Yes, I need to read it too! The Six of Crows vibes sells it to me. 8mo

I am absolutely unmoved to continue reading Cleopatra and Frankenstein atm and it‘s been stumping me for a week, so I‘m putting that on hiatus and picking this up instead. Because it sounds fun, and fun is better.

2/5⭐ The humor is great, but I'm not going to slog through unnecessary description and constant timeline switching to get to a possible payoff. #roll100

Loved getting immersed in the fantasy world of Camorr where Locke and his small gang of thieves use planning, wits, and humor to fleece the ruling class out of their money with elaborate schemes. A long book but a major page-turner as Lynch ratchets up the tension when Locke and his friends are faced with an enemy who wants to destroy the city‘s fragile peace. Great world-building, great characters, excellent read.

Can't see where it's going, apart from back and forth in the characters' timelines.

Should have stopped reading the series after the first book. 😬

7/10✨ What a tale… Truth be told, it took me a while before I became ‘very‘ invested in Locke‘s story. It‘s one of those narratives where, after leading you into a false sense of security; it suddenly drops you into a gripping, shocking and incredibly heartfelt series of events. This led me to irrevocably fall in love with the characters of Locke and Jean, and thus; led me to commit into reading the entire Gentleman Bastard series ⚔️❤️

Ah, it‘s good to have the fresh air back. The Lies of Locke Lamora is probably the longest book I have attempted to read in quite a long while, but I‘m definitely enjoying it so far!

AlaMich I thought it was a great book! The sequel not so much. 10mo
