Complete aside but they've redone the covers for the Gentleman Bastards series and on the one hand I am hopeful that this means that Emberlain is imminent but also it makes them look like bad YA romantassy books and I am miffed and also a little concerned.

Old:

New:

Feels like a bait and switch for new readers. Looks super fun and palatable. But no sorry, you're getting graphic violence, gore, and nearly zero heterosexual romance. Mostly violence.

It's still super fun, however.

LOCKE LAMORA. THAT IS ALL.

Jean and Locke's banter is my favorite thing ever. I live for their relationship. <3

It's always so nice to see how seriously Locke takes Father Chains' advice.

started reading The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch

a story about a gang of amoral guys and their elaborate schemes? why didn't anyone tell me...

[random-jot]

so I finished Lies Of Locke Lamora and absolutely loved it. Can't wait to get stuck into the sequels

Once, when I was old enough to understand what I'd done, I was ashamed to be a murderer...But now, now, I'll be a murderer once again. I will set myself to slay until every last Gray King's man is gone...I will have the Bondsmage and I will have the Gray king, and if all the powers of Camorr and Karthain and Hell itself oppose me, it will be nothing--nothing but a string of corpses between me and your master...Whatever he's planning, I will unmake it. Whatever he desires, I will destroy it...When you see the Crooked Warden, tell him that Locke Lamora learns slowly, but he learns well. And when you see my friends, you tell them that there are more of you on the way.
