Gentleman Author

As a fan of fantasy fiction (R.I.P. Robert Jordan) I am always interested in new authors and new series that I can get into so the waiting for new books in series I already follow doesn't seem so long. I have recently discovered the writing of Scott Lynch and think he deserves a mention here. He has written two books so far and both are excellent adventures with very creative concepts and charming characters. The first book, The Lies of Locke Lamora , introduces the main characters who are a group of con men theives who call themselves the Gentlemen Bastards. That name alone is what inspired me to read this book, and the excellent writing is what compelled me to race through it in two days despite having kids to take care of. The second book, Red Seas Under Red Skies continues the saga and leaves room for more books to follow. I wish Scott all the best creativity and speed in completing the next book in the series - I eagerly await reading it.
