Clearly one of the best books i've read this year. It has a very similar feel to Kingkiller Chronicles, but i liked Scott's writing style much better. Every chapter in this book was just bloody perfect for me. But mind you, this isn't a usual hero, good versus evil fantasy tale. Lock Lamora, is as unlikely a hero as you'd find. He regularly gets outwitted, beaten up, and has no special powers and isn't the most intelligent person out there, isn't a samurai. What he does have is his charm, his loyalty, his strange sort of luck, and ofcourse his lies.
