Locke, a largely known and sought for thieve, his hair a brownish-blonde colour with a grin plastered all over his face, slight scars travelling down his back and arms. Usually wears a refined black coat with a rapier and dagger hanging at his sides.

Locke is jolly most of the times, frequently hiding his craftiness and the grim side of him under a facade of happiness.

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
I would definitely recommend this book as a MUST read. Every page is filled with delicious descriptions and events, with new aspects at every step. The plot is genius, slowly stretching over a long span of time whilst still retaining its juicy details throughout the book and beyond into other sequels. The way the main characters and other sub-characters are weaved into the plot are amazing, every event understood with clarity one after the next. This book and its series is truly one of a kind.
