Fantasy & SciFi
They say that the Thorn of Camorr can beat anyone in a fight. They say he steals from the rich and gives to the poor. They say he's part man, part myth, and mostly street-corner rumor. And they are wrong on every count.
Only averagely tall, slender, and god-awful with a sword, Locke Lamora is the fabled Thorn, and the greatest weapons at his disposal are his wit and cunning. He steals from the rich - they're the only ones worth stealing from - but the poor can go steal for themselves. What Locke cons, wheedles and tricks into his possession is strictly for him and his band of fellow con-artists and thieves: the Gentleman Bastards.
Together their domain is the city of Camorr. Built of Elderglass by a race no-one remembers, it's a city of shifting revels, filthy canals, baroque palaces and crowded cemeteries. Home to Dons, merchants, soldiers, beggars, cripples, and feral children. And to Capa Barsavi, the criminal mastermind who runs the city.
But there are whispers of a challenge to the Capa's power. A challenge from a man no one has ever seen, a man no blade can touch. The Grey King is coming.
A man would be well advised not to be caught between Capa Barsavi and The Grey King. Even such a master of the sword as the Thorn of Camorr. As for Locke Lamora ...

I'm not sure I have the proper words to describe how marvelous I found this to be. Plots filled to the brim with deceit and clevernes, fun dialogue and incredibly lovable characters. It's something special. I wholeheartedly recommend it!

Superrolig och spännande. Fantasy i ny etappning med underbara karaktärer i mycket intressant värld. Författarens sätt att skriva på är poetiskt med inte så lite ironi och krydda i språket.

Bra uppläsare, bra bok. Aningen för många och för långa mellanspel och en väldigt lång cliffhanger vilket kändes lite onödigt. Men absolut läsvärd.

Detta är helt klart en av de bästa böckerna jag någonsin läst. Synd att fortsättningarna dröjer, men den går att läsa fristående.

Bra berättelse. Alla detaljer och bakgrundshistorier var toppen. Charmiga och underhållande karaktärer. Alltid roligt när karsktärerna har ironiska och cyniska drag, att de driver både med sig själva och andra. Mycket bra uppläsare.
