Gentleman Bastard Series by Scott Lynch
Genre: Fantasy
My rating: ★★★★★
Lynch's debut novel and I appreciate his creativity with the profanities in this book. The series is just absolutely hilarious meanwhile being action packed, and emotional.
The Gentleman Bastard series is about a group of orphans who are taken under their masters wing and taught how to act and pull off crazy heists. The group becomes a close family and the bickering back and fourth is just hilarious.
The trio of the series are Locke Lamora, Sabatha, and Jean Tannen. Locke is your main character, a smart ass little orphan who grows up to be a scrawny thief that works closely with Jean. Jean Tannen is the big bad thief, the muscles of the two. Sabatha is the older female of the group who Locke falls in love with.
"We have a new problem, fresh from the oven and hot as hell." This quote explains the books so well! The story is about thieves so of course they are going to encounter problems. The situations they get themselves in are hilarious, crazy, and sometimes tragic. I love the schemes they come up with and the effort put into putting themselves into a character. When a problem comes up they may have a bit of bad luck and not everything goes their way which is refreshing. I mean, I would love for them to be all rainbow and butterflies but that is boring!
I cannot recommend this series enough. If you don't mind a lot of cursing, and sometimes disgusting profanity like "Eat the peas from my shit" or talk of "Trouser gravy" then check out this series. You will laugh, cringe, cry, and swoon.
