[QUOTE="Richards, post: 7567101, member: 508"] And now I'm reading [i]The Lies of Locke Lamora[/i], by Scott Lynch. Holy cow - I haven't read a book this good in a long while. I started it Tuesday (two days ago), and I'm 400+ pages in - the book hooks you and is nearly impossible to put down. (Of course, it helps that I spent all day today in airports and on planes.) It's the story of an orphan who becomes a master thief in a fantasy city very much like Venice - but this is on another world, with three moons and a mysterious alien culture who left behind structures made of "Elderglass" that the humans living there have repurposed to their own needs. The novel weaves back and forth between the present and the past, dealing with Locke's current problems interwoven with the story of how he was raised as a thief, working for different masters. It's a fantastic novel (and it was the author's first!) with some truly excellent worldbuilding - I could easily see a fantasy RPG based on this world (although at this point it looks like humans are the only intelligent race on the planet). Best of all: there are at least two more books in the series, which I'll be hunting up without fail. This is easily the best book I've read in the past year. Johnathan [/QUOTE]
