The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch
Did not finish book. Stopped at 10%.

My main issue is with the prose. While I do like the witty exchanges between characters, which reminded me of first law, the narration is so damn overly descriptive that it's impossible for me to immerse myself into the story. 

Maybe I'll give it another try in the future
