The Lies of Locke Lamora is the first book in Scott Lynch's THE GENTLEMAN BASTARD SEQUENCE. I was not familiar with Lynch, but the book sounded interesting and I made a decision to give it a try. Lynch's character development in this fantasy had me hooked in the Prologue. His skill at creating characters is reminiscent of Robert Heinlein's and I can give no higher compliment than that.
The characters are introduced in early childhood when they are trained to be extremely skillful thieves and continues through to early adulthood in a world whose technology is equivalent to our late Medieval period. To say their lives and adventures are engrossing is a gross understatement.
The second and third books of the sequence, Red Seas Under Red Skies and The Republic of Thieves, are also in print and the fourth is due out in June, 2015. I am eagerly awaiting its release.

Oceans 11+ Fantasy!!!
One of the most fun books in fantasy in a decade. The main character is a smoothe con man who has a team of criminals that steal from the wealthiest in his fantasy megalopolis. Then he gets tangled up in events that will impact the entire city. The scope and creativity of this book rival those of China Mieville, but with characters that are actually FUN.

A Good Read
This is a tricky book to review. It is an interesting plot with shifts in between the past and the present that turns this book in to a bit of a caper. The characters are all interesting and often hilarious. My only warning is that Mr. Lynch is not afraid of a body count. He can often be brutal in his decisive ends to his characters and I don't know if happy ending is the correct term for this book. An awesome story, very readable but pretty close to heart wrenching.
