The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch
4.75
adventurous dark funny fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Thirteen things I loved for the thirteen Gods of Therin: brilliant dialogue, ridiculous escapades, intense comedy-laced action, detailed and direct backstory, Locke's web of lies, subtle world-building, the narrative rhythm of the interludes, the red justice, revisiting small narrative points to make them relevant later in the story, the COMRADERIE between the Gentlemen Bastards, the gruesome, beautiful and haunting descriptions of the city of Camorr and its people, the simple yet clearly thought-out narration...I have more but I just need to keep your attention until Jean gets here.
