In this stunning debut, author Scott Lynch delivers the wonderfully thrilling tale of an audacious criminal and his band of confidence tricksters. Set in a fantastic city pulsing with the lives of decadent nobles and daring thieves, here is a story of adventure, loyalty, and survival that is one part Robin Hood, one part Ocean’s Eleven , and entirely enthralling.…

An orphan’s life is harsh–and often short–in the island city of Camorr, built on the ruins of a mysterious alien race. But born with a quick wit and a gift for thieving, Locke Lamora has dodged both death and slavery, only to fall into the hands of an eyeless priest known as Chains–a man who is neither blind nor a priest. A con artist of extraordinary talent, Chains passes his skills on to his carefully selected “family” of orphans–a group known as the Gentlemen Bastards. Under his tutelage, Locke grows to lead the Bastards, delightedly pulling off one outrageous confidence game after another. Soon he is infamous as the Thorn of Camorr, and no wealthy noble is safe from his sting.

Passing themselves off as petty thieves, the brilliant Locke and his tightly knit band of light-fingered brothers have fooled even the criminal underworld’s most feared ruler, Capa Barsavi. But there is someone in the shadows more powerful–and more ambitious–than Locke has yet imagined.

Known as the Gray King, he is slowly killing Capa Barsavi’s most trusted men–and using Locke as a pawn in his plot to take control of Camorr’s underworld. With a bloody coup under way threatening to destroy everyone and everything that holds meaning in his mercenary life, Locke vows to beat the Gray King at his own brutal game–or die trying.…

读后感

很独特，有种那个年代威尼斯的感觉。 在这个世界神不过就是一种说法而已，所有的一切都在不信神的人手下土崩瓦解。 还有另一个绅士盗贼亚森罗平。我还没来得及看他的故事。 大体上就是一种印象：中等个头，中等相貌，擅长逃跑，可以任意扮成任何人。有一群忠实的朋友。 这个故...

Ocean's 11 in renaissance Italy, the setting reminds me of that Woody Allen joke 'my brother beat me,my sister beat my brother,my parents beat us,the neighbors beat them,the people down stairs beat our floor, the people in next building beat our building...' thief based pyramid!

结构方面，文句修饰太过，加上跳跃式叙述，影响阅读连贯性。情节方面，这类骗局小说，很容易变成作者自编自演，这本就有点这种破绽，所有配角、反派甚至情节，都为主角服务，例如法师设定太过强大，以致最後情节发展，失去可信度。
