Re: So, fandom, ready to rec?

Yay, book recs! I'd like to recommend The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch. It's technically a fantasy, but with lots of action, comedy and crime thrown in. It's the first in a series with only two books out so far and the author is unreliable a la GRRM, but I do think Lies can be read as a stand-alone novel.

I'd also rec GRRM, Pat Rothfuss and Robin Hobb if you haven't read any of their stuff already.

Republic of Thieves, the next (final?) book in the Gentleman Bastards series, is coming out in November.

And just so you know, that "unreliable" author has been battling severe depression after his marriage fell apart, causing the 3 year delay.

Hmm, wiki has Gentlemen Bastards as planned for 7 books, so no, not the final.

Sorry, that was bad wording on my part. I do know he's been suffering from depression and don't at all feel resentful about having to wait longer for the next books because of it. I just wanted to make a long story short for the OP because some people want to be warned about long waits in a series. I'm sorry if I caused offense.

I'm really psyched to hear about that release date though! I knew it was a prospective date on amazon but I tend not to trust their release dates. But that's awesome if it's confirmed!

Upon rereading my comment, it came across as a lot more bitchy than I intended. Sorry about that. I meant it more as a warning to be careful about how you talk about the delay as it might come off as being dismissive of depression and you might get shit for it. I've seen people get horribly dogpiled for it when they honestly didn't know the reason for the delay. Instead, I came off as a dogpiler. I'm sorry.

A Song of Ice and Fire is already on my to read list for the summer. :D I will check those others out, too. Thanks for the recs. :) And as long as Lies doesn't end with a cliffhanger, I don't mind.

As far as I can remember, it doesn't end on a cliffhanger, but there are insinuations of a further story. Honestly, I do think it can be read as a stand-alone if you want. Happy reading!
