4.5

the fact that i’ve already seen all the oceans 11/12/13 movies (and the sting, of course) made me want another heist of that proportion. well, i got that here. and it was high fucking fantasy. locke lamora is a detestable (but charming) man and i love him so much. him and his gentleman bastards are probably the best characters i’ve seen in a while. i loved this book so much.

Absolutely loved this book.

It's a criminal underworld, con artist, swashbuckling, found family masterpiece. The characters are amazing and the plot kept me guessing. I absolutely fell in love with Locke and his band of Gentleman Bastards.
