Okay, so Scott did the thing a few weeks ago where he said there would be a few Gentleman Bastards novelas or whatever but he also said we would know more in a week or two... so where's the rest of the news Scott??????????...??????????.?????????

Most kindle highlights: Beautiful prose; thoughtful, philosophical paragraphs; actually useful life advice worth noting down.

Shoutout to characters that move to other worlds and never look back, I could never be like you. I'd have to at least periodically check back with Earth because I could not handle never finding out how my favorite book series ended

Father Chains: Do you think I like being mother hen to all of you?!

Locke:

Jean:

Calo:

Galdo:

Bug:

Father Chains: Fine. I do. It's like crack to me.

I can't believe that in your post were you rate the covers of locke lamora books you missed the absolute mess that's the spanish cover. Google "Las mentiras de Locke Lamora" and it should pop up. You'll know you've found it if your eyes start bleeding

until now i lived in blissful ignorance thinking the spanish cover was just the green-gold cover (you know the one) with a translated title. i wish it was so, for i hate this and everyone involved in making it. here we go

this looks like something made on photoshop in five minutes by someone who forgot they had a deadline. this looks like (one of the better, let’s be honest) a wattpad cover made by a teenager working for free who really wants to show of their making-this-look-like-a-water-reflection skills but forgot they had to write too, so they just chose the first two fonts they found and called it a day.

the actual art in the lower part isn’t that bad, i just hate the style, and it looks really bad with the plain blue background. it looks like it’s been glued really badly on, and the shadows really makes the lack of shadows or anything else on the text stand out

i also can’t stand orange on blue, and that shade of dark red is also on thin ice.

One star out of five

oohh favourite book series of all time? 🥰

AAAAHHHH YES THANK YOU JAS!! 🥰🥰🥰

The Gentleman Bastard series by Scott Lynch! I will NEVER SHUT UP ABOUT THIS SERIES. You want fantasy? Found family? A badass gang of thieves caught up in political and magical intrigue?? PIRATES?! I love these books so much I love Locke I love Jean I love Sabetha I’m obsessed with The Falconer I neED THE FOURTH BOOK LYNCH-

But seriously the world building in these books is incredible, the first book can be a bit disorientating because of the constant switching between present-day and flashbacks, but I adore Lynch’s ability to give you all the information but still leave bits that are just BEGGING for more lore. Who were the Eldren? What’s Elderglass? What the fuck was that thing in the fog that knew Locke’s real name?? What’s the backstory of Father Chains? (FC spin-off nOW PLEASE)

As of this point the series is still ongoing so maybe they’ll get answered eventually but it’s fun to speculate. Absolutely the trilogy of all time 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

JOEY, sarcastically rehearsing in her troll disguise: my name is joanna claire, bronzeblood. i am wearing clothes full of dammek’s sweat. i am dumb enough to walk around alternia without a weapon of any sort. also, i am, alas, entirely fictional.

Scott Lynch you evil, evil man. More Than Fools Fill Graves is a banger of a title
