I have no idea if it’s actually similar, but I googled it and there seems to be an overlap of fans between Farseer and Gentlemen Bastards.
So I’m suggesting The Lies of Locke Lamora! The narrator adds a whole extra layer to the disguises, if you’re into reading by ear
Okay super interesting!
I should probably describe it: it’s a dark comedy about a group of con artists stealing from the rich in the age of semi-magical science
The 2nd book has pirates!
I could see that, both series really work from very good character writing, if thats someone's thing. I loved both as well.
Is there some sort of twist that makes it more fun further in? Got halfway through the first Gentleman Bastard and had to give up because I just couldn't care less.
I didn't loathe it like I did with the Kingslayer Chronicle (also DNF), but it's one of a select trio of books that I just couldn't finish, out of some 200 books I've read the post 4 years (Jo Nesbø's "The Bat" being the third).
If you don’t like it from the start it’s probably not for you, I loved every minute when I read it
Thank you, it's just not for me then 😊👍
