The language is colorful in every sense of the word. Lynch has a knack for clever, hilariously crass turns of phrase.
I liked seeing the flashbacks and how the characters met and became close. I hope there are more of those in future books. The scams and plots were clever. I also appreciated that for being a master thief, Locke is *not* OP and gets beaten pretty horribly multiple times. I think it would be easy for a character like him to be a Mary Sue, and he is definitely not. His banter is fun too.
I was pretty annoyed when
Looking forward to the next book, whenever I get around to it.
“Someday, Locke Lamora,” he said, “someday, you’re going to fuck up so magnificently, so ambitiously, so overwhelmingly that the sky will light up and the moons will spin and the gods themselves will shit comets with glee. And I just hope I’m still around to see it.”
“Oh please,” said Locke. “It’ll never happen.”
