While he can pick a pocket or a lock with the best of them, his greatest tool is his mind, and he can talk just about anyone into giving him their money. Locke Lamora is not just a thief, he is a mastermind con artist. However, I will give you a bit of a background on Locke. I don’t want to get too much into the characterization because half the fun of reading a book is discovering the characters. Sure, they have their heroic qualities, but they never let you forget that they have no desire to be heroes. They are thieves and rogues, and we love them for it. Locke Lamora and his crew never claim to be heroes and can never really be labelled as such. There are no heroes in the Gentlemen Bastard Sequence. I figured that I would still release my review now, because this gives you plenty of time to read the Gentlemen Bastard Sequence to prepare for the upcoming sequel. However, I have just found out that the release date is being pushed back to an undetermined date (though I hear rumours of April 2017, but I cannot confirm these). I originally decided to write this review for September 2016 because the latest installment of the Gentlemen Bastard Sequence, The Thorn of Emberlain, was scheduled to be released this month. TLOLL is the first book in a series titled the Gentlemen Bastard Sequence, which is a fantasy series about Locke Lamora, a roguish mastermind thief, and his crew of devilish comrades, the Gentlemen Bastards. My favourite book on my bookshelf right now is The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch.
In case you can’t tell, I love writing about my favourite books.
