The Lies Of Locke Lamora

Right now I am in the middle of a house renovation. As I am working away on doorframes, walls and floors I listen to audio books.

Very often I tend to listen to 30k and 40K books from Black Library. Many times these are great books that keeps you on the edge of your seat.

But lately I have been exploring other authors and stories. And one of these stories starts with the book, The Lies Of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch.

I am currently reading (listening) to book 2 in the series.

I can really recommend these books. They have been a breath of fresh air for me and I can’t stop listening.

We are following Locke Lamora. The thief of Camore (don’t trust the spelling) the master con artist in a wonderful low fantasy setting. Well written, engaging, fun and exiting. The fantasy setting wraps the story and sett the stage without forcing the story or dictating it.

Michael Page who reads the audio book, simply adds to the characters and storytelling.

If you haven’t read the books and are in the mood for something great. And perhaps a little different from dragons, heroes and the usual magic and power fest. Then I can’t recommend this book enough!
