The Lies of Locke Lamora

I’m forty pages in (and only that through sheer force of will) and I am BORED TO TEARS.

Band of young thieves gallavanting around a seedy medieval underworld.

And, are there any women in this book? Like, not even POV characters, but, like, secondary characters? “As you know Bob” babes, even, or shit, I’ll take a fucking useless love interest.

Does this world have women?

If it doesn’t get better in 30 pages, I’m selling it on eBay.

Bloody fucking shame, too. I bought this bastard in hardcover.
