PRAISE FOR SCOTT LYNCH
"A bright new voice in the fantasy genre."--George R. R. Martin The Republic of Thieves
"Fast paced, fun, and impossible to put down . . . Locke and company remain among the most engaging protagonists in fantasy."--Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"The Republic of Thieves has all the colorful action, witty repartee, and devious scheming that fans of the series have come to expect."--Wired "A fantasy world unique among its peers . . . If you're looking for a great new fantasy series this is one you won't want to miss. . . . In a word: AWESOME!"--SF Revu Red Seas Under Red Skies
"Lynch hasn't merely imagined a far-off world, he's created it, put it all down on paper--the smells, the sounds, the people, the feel of the place. The novel is a virtuoso performance, and sf/fantasy fans will gobble it up."--Booklist (starred review) "Red Seas Under Red Skies firmly proves that Scott Lynch isn't a one-hit wonder. . . . It'll only be a matter of time before Scott Lynch is mentioned in the same breath as George R. R. Martin and Steven Erikson."--Fantasy Book Critic "Grand, grandiose, grandiloquent . . . No critic is likely to fault Lynch in his overflowing qualities of inventiveness, audacious draftsmanship, and sympathetic characterization."--Locus "The kind of witty romp that reminds you exactly how much fun heroic fantasy is supposed to be."--SFX The Lies of Locke Lamora
"Right now, in the full flush of a second reading, I think The Lies of Locke Lamora is probably in my top ten favorite books ever. Maybe my top five. If you haven't read it, you should. If you have read it, you should probably read it again."--Patrick Rothfuss, New York Times bestselling author of The Name of the Wind
