Omschrijving
The first of the Gentleman Bastard sequence, this stunning heist fantasy is a must-read for fans of GAME OF THRONES and THE NAME OF THE WIND.
The Lies of Locke Lamora, exports the suspense and wit of a cleverly constructed crime caper into an exotic realm of fantasy, and the result is engagingly entertaining
Fresh, original, and engrossing . . . gorgeously realized
The Lies of Locke Lamora is one of my top ten books ever. Maybe my top five. If you haven't read it, you should
A great, swashbuckling yarn of a novel
Filled with thievery goodness, hilarious turns of phrase and description, and some truly harebrained schemes, The Lies of Locke Lamora belongs on any fantasy fans bookshelf
This extremely well-written tale of avarice and brotherhood is a treasure of gold
A rewarding read, well written, and entertaining
[This book] stole hours of sleep. It wrapped me in cozy myth. It gave me the blessing of feeling like a kid again
