The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch
In which a charming thief and his friends attempt to outsmart members of the privileged class and new enemies in a magical and perilous city.
This is by far the best book I have read in a very long time. I loved it! It's an incredibly well paced adventure where the protagonists are just barely staying ahead (mostly) of some really bad guys. There are secrets and mysteries that gradually unfold in pleasing ways, tragedy, comedy and tons of action. The characters, particularly Locke Lamora are very likable and nuanced. It was such a fantastic read, everything a great fantasy book should be.
