Been meaning to read this for years and finally got to it and I would recommend reading it! It can survive as a stand alone or open up a whole new trilogy for you. 

Personally I’m not feeling invested in reading two more books but the characters are loveable and interesting thieves and murderers. You don’t really realise there is magic in the story right away but it definitely feels like a fantasy world. The plots, adventures and descriptions are amazingly well written. 

Even though there are no female lead characters, I am happy that the women in this book are fighters, intelligent and underestimated. 

If you like books Patrick Rothfuss or Mark Lawrence then this story of for you.

This book is really fun, and would have got 4*, but

I am of the personal opinion that authors who kill off the lovable cheeky urchin for an emotional reaction   deserve to suffer

and so points were deducted. Other than that a great romp through a well built world with complex lore, lovable characters and witty dialogue.

Really enjoyed this. Def an adult book, not one that crosses over with other age groups. The descriptions of food stand out as very well written. Lots of violence and very graphic in a few places, but doesn't feel out of place or overwhelming (with one possible exception, but I think it's personal taste).  The interludes are a little distracting, but Lynch handles them well and most of the time I ended up appreciating them for what they added to the main plot.
