About the author
Scott Lynch
62 books26.8k followersI was born in St. Paul, Minnesota on April 2, 1978, the first of three brothers. I've lived in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area my entire life; currently, just across the border in Wisconsin, about half an hour east of the Twin Cities.
The Lies of Locke Lamora, my first novel, was bought by Simon Spanton at Orion Books in August, 2004. Prior to that I had just about every job you usually see in this sort of author bio-- dishwasher, busboy, waiter, web designer, office manager, prep cook, and freelance writer. I trained in basic firefighting at Anoka Technical College in 2005, and became a volunteer firefighter in June of that year.
In 2007 The Lies of Locke Lamora was a World Fantasy Award finalist.
In 2008 I received the Sydney J. Bounds Best Newcomer Award from the British Fantasy Society.
In 2010, I lost a marriage but gained a cat, a charming ball of ego and fuzz known as Muse (Musicus Maximus Butthead Rex I).
My partner, the lovely and critically acclaimed SF/F writer Elizabeth Bear, lives in Massachusetts.

Preemptively rating this book 5 stars because this series has yet to disappoint me and I'm counting down the (unknown amount of) days until its release.
Based on the brief description it seems like this book will include the usual Gentleman Bastards' riots, and is a sort of tie-over for hard core fans who would probably read an essay about Locke taking a shit and still rate it 5 stars. It's also a nice ease back into the GB world to prepare us for the inevitable torture that Locke and Jean (and probably Sabetha) are going to go through in The Thorn of Emberlain. Songs? Campfire tales? Heartfelt conversations? Sign me up immediately.
Scott Lynch, if you read this review just know that you could write a post-it note worth of the GB adventures and I would read it enthusiastically.

November 26, 2024I love the Locke Lamora series and I love Subterranean press so here I am!
Also, I am very glad that these are bridge novellas which means once the dates are up I will start re-reading the main series :D
