Episode: 46 – [Review] The Lies of Locke Lamora

from Paperback Friends · host Sam Ögren

It’s always tough for me to do reviews of books I read a while ago. Still, I do okay with it in this one.So, what does the no mighty one think about this one? Well, if you know how I feel about Blood Song – you know how I feel about this one.There are many cool things about this novel, but writer Scott Lynch falls into the trap of terrible plot points like so many others. Yepp, it’s our favorite plot device (kind of) again. While your vote is out on that for now, I hate shit like that.This makes for a great novel with good writing, but while also having colossal plot problems.If you are not as picky as I am about that stuff “making sense” then this is a great fantasy novel.Type: [Review] | The Lies of Locke Lamora | Writer: Scott Lynch
