Unexpectedly great

I tend to steer clear of fantasy novels. Something about faux-medieval nonsense makes my skin crawl. But someone left this in the wrong place in my local book shop and I was so enamoured by the pace and wit of Scott Lynch's writing that I was willing to brave these uncharted waters. And I completely loved it - a punchy, cleverly-written story with enough meat on its bones to leave you chewing for days.

Highly recommended.
