The Gentleman Bastard Series by Scott Lynch
5.0
I have bested the beast! This collection was one hell of a tome, and I feel so accomplished that I finally finished it! It took me a couple of weeks, but it was worth it.
I think that anyone who likes to read about epic adventures/fantasy would probably really enjoy this series. It has everything I'm looking for in these types of stories. Thieves, pirates, and general con-artistry of the utmost repute. What's not to like about that? These books have plenty of action, multiple & ever-layered schemes, and the most lovable cast of criminals I've come across in a while.
If you're looking for an intricately told adventure, featuring memorable and exciting characters, this would be a great series to dive into. Also, there are so many twists and turns, I was audibly gasping at certain reveals. It was just a solidly good time, and it was a real joy to read.
Individual scores below:
The Lies of Locke Lamora: 5 stars
Red Seas Under Red Skies: 4.5 stars
The Republic of Thieves: 4.75 stars
