The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch
4.0
4.25/5
“Someday, Locke Lamora,” he said, “someday, you’re going to fuck up so magnificently, so ambitiously, so overwhelmingly that the sky will light up and the moons will spin and the gods themselves will shit comets with glee. And I just hope I’m still around to see it.”
“Oh please,” said Locke. “It’ll never happen.”
***
Equal parts hilarious and gory. Locke Lamora and the Gentleman Bastards commit their crimes so flamboyantly and made for an entertaining read despite the dark city underbelly setting. Loved the childhood flashback interludes which gave a lot more depth to the gang and worldbuilding.
