Let me start by saying that I met Mr. Lynch at the Phoenix Comicon and he was all smiles and incredibly nice. This was a story I was very interested in reading. I will also say upfront that I plan on reading the second book in this series. And I plan on doing it in the near future. So why only 3 sta...
It's hard to rate this book. It was really, really good...the world building is amazing, the writing is to die for, the characters are intriguing...but it didn't really feel like it had any soul. All the technical pieces were there, but it was lacking the emotional oomph that would have really tied ...
Disclaimer: I received a free book via Goodreads First Reads program. For several years I've seen recommendations and rave reviews about Scott Lynch's debut novel, The Lies of Locke Lamora. Now after reading the book for myself, I can without a doubt see why it was recommended and why it has got t...
When a book is well written it doesn't matter the genre, count me in. I loved this first novel in the Gentleman Bastard series. It had action, adventure, underdog heroes that you root for and some twists and completely shocking turns. The world building was done so well I was just swept up into t...

Sweet babies, this is one of the most entertaining and interesting books I've ever read. Read the short blurb for the basics: Locke Lamora is an orphan who is sold into the priesthood of a thief-god. He learns a lot (and I mean *a lot*) forms his own gang (the Gentleman Bastards), and proceeds t...
I love crossbreeds. I love them. Let me explain this. You have books that are part of only a single major genre. Of course, no book is ever purely a thing – no book is only romance or only historical or only non-fiction. In order for it to be a book, it has to combine some elements that exist in oth...
Ok let me just say that I went into this with such high expectation, that no matter how good it could have have I would still be disappointing! And what exactly went wrong I don't know. Not a slow start they are making their fist con within the first 30 pages, so exciting, right. The writing? right ...
