Scott Lynch: The Lies of Locke Lamora (Gentleman Bastard, #1) 4 stars

The Lies of Locke Lamora is a 2006 fantasy novel by American writer Scott Lynch, …

This book is one of my very favorite fantasy books. I'm a sucker for a loveable rogue, and this has 'em in droves. The writing is sharp, brilliant, funny, and engaging, the story moves along at a great pace, the worldbuilding is solid, and just enough to let you feel how expansive it really is without spending ages bonking you over the head with it, and it opens the series up to more great books down the road. Worth your time, for sure.
