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.

read in 2020

I had heard a lot about this book beforehand and I had high expectations - which were surpassed. This book is amazing, it's witty, gripping and I don't think I've ever had this much fun while reading!
