What are your thoughts on The Gentlemen Bastards ?

[seancain]

The dialogue alone is some of the best you'll ever see in a series. As a writer myself it makes me almost physically angry reading how perfect it is.

I haven't watched the video. The man is right. Read the books, they're fantastic. Time for the video.

[yeahuhhuhher]

i had a hard time getting into the first one and almost put it down several times. things took a complete turn about 150/200 pages in and now it's one of my favorite series of all time. it still haunts me how close i was to just giving up on it haha

[merrittanimation]

(sighs)
Welp, that's another book on my TBR. I'll add it to the pile...

[nyxian_grid]

Before even watching this vid, just letting you know that all the other times you and Merphy talked about the Gentlemen Bastards has already convinced me to read the series. But here I am anyway. So imma press play now.

I love Locke and Jean! I can't wait to find out more about Locke's history. I found it hard to believe that The Lies of Locke Lamora was Lynch's first novel. Everyone should read it and I must say that I was happy to find out that other people like it just as much as I do!

[davids]

"Nice bird, a**hole." One of my favorite Locke quotes 😂😂 Laughed out loud so many times with these books. The dialogue is amazing, the plot is great. I didnt like the 2nd and 3rd book as much, but I think it was partially my expectations of it were not what they should have been. Cant wait for the Thorn of Emberlain to come out!

[natewingalthor]

I've read them and love them. I agree with everything you said and can't wait for the next entry. I think the relationship between locke and jean is one of the best and most realistic I've ever read

Gentleman bastards was the shit & I am so looking forward to the fourth installment. Instantly became one of my favorite series thanks to your recommendation in the first place making me check it out, thanks for that btw

[raevaltera]

Definitely had a slower start than I expected. Took me about halfway through the book to start caring about Locke or Jean. Cared more about Bug to be honest, but after the first half... I’m hooked, utterly enthralled. About 1/3 left to go!

[nathanaelwaters]

Alot of people are saying that they had a hard time getting into the first book but honestly I loved it from front to back

[mosstown]

I started reading after you recommended this series in one of your vids. I’m nearly finished the first and it’s amazing so you have my thanks for talking about it.

[gavinborchers]

Thank you, someone who has a broad reach of the fantasy genre promoting/defining one of the best series I have ever read is wonderful to see. I love all the books and I can't wait until the new release.

[jasona]

I bought the books on Daniel's recommendation, he's right

[Raverenz]

Alright I finally got around to the Gentlemen Bastards series and wow. I have been missing out for so long. Nobody can swear quiet like Scott Lynch. The narrator also killed it.

[itamarreina]

Commenting on every video untill Greene Daniel is released. Video number 35.

I read The Lies of Locke Lamora a few weeks ago. It was one of my favorite reads so far. It was fun, it was interesting, it was gut wrenching, it was amazing.

[morganziegler]

These books are my heart. I picked of The Lies of Locke Lamora after hearing that it was about thieves. Thieves doing thief things is pretty much a guaranteed win of a trope for my reading tastes, as I always love reading about it. What I wasn't prepared for was the FEELS trip I was about to go on. The heists are infinitely clever and wonderful, of course, but I feel in love with the atmosphere, the gritty danger, and my dear, dear Locke and Jean. I rave about these books to anyone that will listen to me, hoping more people read them. I devoured the whole series in under two weeks because I simply could not put them down. I cannot wait for the next installment.

[ziodice]

Side point of advice: so far the first book here has made an excellent palette cleanser for me after finishing the first Mistborn trilogy. Something atmospheric enough for me to enjoy greatly without being so dense I have to focus aggressively on the little mysteries and what not. Not to mention the levity helps me to relax a bit more.
