Episode 36 – The Lies of Locke Lamora – Interlude through Chapter 7 Scott Lynch Gentlemen Bastards

What this episode covers

This episode begins with Locke meeting Jean for the first time.  The two don’t get along at the start. Later Chains sends Jean off to train to become a brawler. In the “present day” Locke meets with Capa Barsavi only to discover that Nazca has been killed.  Locke confronts The Falconer, but this doesn’t end well for Locke.  Locke devises a clever and colorful event to get out of his obligation to Capa Barsavi.   Predictions: * Nazca isn’t dead. * The Gray King is Locke’s father. * Locke will be responsible (or blamed) for The Falconers death. * The magic in this world is tied to the Eldren. Next week we’ll read through the interlude entitled “The Half Crown War.”
