The Lies of Locke Lamora

Read this book for the first time and I am completely enamored with it. The writing is difficult to follow at first but once you get used to the style you realize the author is basically answering your questions when or before you have them with the flashbacks. I love the amazing plot, the lovable characters, and the entire world. I hope the next two books answer some of the question about the Eldren, Elderglass, and the Bondsmagi.

My only real critique is that the main climax' (plural) don't hit as hard as i wanted. The writing style is so fluid it feels like you can read right past them without being impacted at all. Don't get me wrong, i loved them was devastated by them when i was supposed to be, but i feel like the author could have made his points in the cliffhanger format most readers are used to to make the climax' more impactful.
