The Lies of Locke Lamora reviews from people you don't follow

Deeply rich characters and settings. (2 more)
The author, Scott Lynch, writes this book in a way that the words drip off of the page like fine liqueur.
Fantasy novels are either cliché and familiar, or try to forcibly break the traditional. This novel is at the same time familiar and yet unique.
One of the best books I've read in years
I would say this reminded me of Game of Thrones with a heist element and less sex, but about the same amount of violence and death. I enjoyed the world building, mystery, characters, pretty much everything! Looking forward to the sequel, but I know I'll be re-reading this one sometime this year before then.
Very exciting book - well-written but accessible, with an engaging and creatively structured plot and varied and complex locations and characters. Managed to avoid the dull fantasy trope of having a protagonist who is flawless; Locke has many flaws, but he's very endearing. Will definitely read the sequel at some point.
