The Lies of Locke Lamora
"The Lies of Locke Lamora is among my ten favorite books. Maybe it's in the top five. If you haven't read the book, you should. If you've read it, you should probably re-read it..."
-Patrick Rothfuss-
"Vibrant, original and compelling. Magnificently written."
-George RR Martin-
"If he had a bleeding cut on his throat and a doctor tried to stitch that cut, Lamora would steal the needle and thread and die laughing. The kid…steals too much." The city of Camorr has witnessed many acts of degeneracy, corruption, bad luck and theft throughout its history, and has been able to digest each one of them one by one in its magical atmosphere; Until the name of the Scourge of Camorr echoes on the damp walls of the city... The Scourge of Camorr is said to be an invincible swordsman, a master thief, a ghost who can pass through walls, and a friend of the poor. That legendary "Bela" is the slender, daring and resourceful Locke Lamora. Although Locke robs the rich with a mastery that no one else can achieve, unlike the great archer in another legend, he does not let the poor take a single penny from what he steals. All of Locke's earnings are for himself and the Gentleman Bastards, a gang of thieves who live up to their name.
The capricious and colorful underground world of the ancient city of Camorr, the only home they have and where they carry out all their tricks, tricks and tricks, is rotting from the inside and torn apart by a secret war. Locke and his gang, who tell dozens of lies on one leg, have to escape the death game they fell into in this magical world, this time without even having one foot on the ground. Scott Lynch, whose name is frequently mentioned with names such as Patrick Rothfuss and Brandon Sanderson thanks to the world he created and his powerful writing, combines the grippingness of an adventure book with the creativity of a fantasy book in his striking novel, Locke Lamora's Lies, and then George RR Martin's novel succeeds in hitting the reader where they least expect it. It adds narrative and offers us a unique dream world.
