About this listen
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.

A fresh take on typical fantasy!
Good fantasy that focuses on a story of theivery and cons artist schemes. You still get a good dose of what makes a fun fantasy book though - plots, swords, magic and memorable characters, while not being super generic. Has a good balance of light and heavy tones, drama and comedic scenes. Very well written book and good performance and character portrayals by the narrattor. Check this out if

Gripping
I seriously recommend this book to anyone who is okay with a little bit of gore. The beginning was interesting, but not super gripping for me, so if you’re wondering if it’s worth your time to see if it gets better... it does! It really does! I’m about to start the second book and I can’t wait!

Fantastic Worldbuilding; Clever Plots!
Many times throughout this book, I was actually chuckling aloud. I spent a good deal of my time away from the book musing on the plots and the world and the characters until I could get back to it again. The ending was amazing!

Clever, witty fun
strong characters with good pacing. I listened to this on long drives and it made the time fly by as I was well and truly invested in the world.

Excellent book! Very exciting
What a roller coaster! This audiobook was so much fun. Great characters.
Author’s writing style was a bit jarring at first as they’d jump forwards and backwards in time a lot. But once you get used to it, it’s so good.
