The Lies of Locke Lamora

I love heists, so it should come as no surprise that I absolutely adore this book. The cons are fun, the worldbuilding advanced, and the dialogue consistently colorful. I loved how the interludes provided background about characters while setting things up for the next scene. Some of the characters are a little underbaked, but it doesn't detract much.

The narrator really knocked it out of the park, too. There are a lot of accents and he made it easy to tell everyone apart.

Really amazing worldbuilding. Exciting story without a lot of filler. I liked the non-linear nature of the first part. Plenty of swashbuckling.
