A con artist of extraordinary talent, Chains passes his skills on to his carefully selected "family" of orphans--a group known as the Gentlemen Bastards. This is so refreshing compared to the typical fantasy story that is set in a generic medieval style country. Scott Lynch's first book in the Gentleman Bastard Sequence is not one to undertake lightly; if you are not full committed to his writing, I think, you'll miss the quality which is hidden in between intense. beware writing too much inside, the font is very small, but overall a great gift with a lot of sentiment behind it.
A real page turner, LIES has it all - cocky theives, elaborate cons, humor , and a twisted plot - all set in a beautifully built world with its own unique history. Depending on where you live, the time it may take for your exchanged product to reach you, may vary. No missing or damaged pages, no creases or tears, no underlining or highlighting of text, and no writing in the margins. Some find the flashbacks interspersed in the story off putting but to me this is similar to the flashback device used on television shows to introduce a new episode. With a bloody coup under way threatening to destroy everyone and everything that holds meaning in his mercenary life, Locke vows to beat the Gray King at his own brutal game--or die trying.But born with a quick wit and a gift for thieving, Locke Lamora has dodged both death and slavery, only to fall into the hands of an eyeless priest known as Chains--a man who is neither blind nor a priest. But young Locke Lamora dodges death and slavery, becoming a thief under the tutelage of a gifted con artist. UPDATE: Scott finished a draft of the next Gentleman Bastard novel, THE THORN OF EMBERLAIN, at the end of May 2019. You'll feel as though you've wandered over the hills and far away, beyond the fields we know, into realms of ambrosian nectar once this book arrives at you door!
He steals from the rich - they're the only ones worth stealing from - but the poor can go steal for themselves. Locke and Jean find their abiding friendship tested to its very limits in this strange new world of lurching wooden decks, brutal ship-to-ship action, and feuding pirate captains. com, the Sell on Etsy app, and the Etsy app, as well as the electricity that powers Etsy’s global offices and employees working remotely from home in the US.

Trained, from childhood, in the various skills necessary for their trade, they enjoy their work - and hold more stolen gold than they know what to do with.It gave me the blessing of feeling like a kid again, snuggled up with a book, wondering how the hell 10pm became 4am. If a mash-up of Joe Abercrombie’s ’The Blade Itself’ and Brandon Sanderson’s ’Mistborn: The Final Empire’ strikes you as an intriguing proposition, then look no further - Scott Lynch has you covered.

Built of Elderglass by a race no-one remembers, it's a city of shifting revels, filthy canals, baroque palaces and crowded cemeteries. In September 2016, Gollancz published 10th Anniversary special edition hardbacks with a newly designed cover. Many people complained about the language, saying the profanities are inappropriate or too modern for the society of that period.He certainly didn't invite the rumors that swirl around his exploits, which are actually confidence games of the most intricate sort. The Gentleman Bastards face adversity throughout, and whilst the challenges they face seem insurmountable, Lynch never resorts to cheap tricks or inconsistent magic to resolve conflict.
