Zeer graag. Als ontsnapping aan de realiteit geniet ik enorm van fantasy-verhalen.
The lies of Locke Lamora (Scott Lynch) of Mistborn (Brandon Sanderson). Slagen er volkomen in om interessante wereldse vragen te stellen in een gekke fantasy-setting.
An orphan's life is harsh--and often short--in the mysterious island city of Camorr. But young Locke Lamora dodges death and slavery, becoming a thief under the tutelage of a gifted con artist. As leader of the band of light-fingered brothers known as the Gentleman Bastards, Locke is soon infamous, fooling even the underworld's most feared ruler. But in the shadows lurks someone still more ambitious and deadly. Faced with a bloody coup that threatens to destroy everyone and everything that holds meaning in his mercenary life, Locke vows to beat the enemy at his own brutal game--or die trying.
For a thousand years the ash fell and no flowers bloomed. For a thousand years the Skaa slaved in misery and lived in fear. For a thousand years the Lord Ruler, the "Sliver of Infinity," reigned with absolute power and ultimate terror, divinely invincible. This saga dares to ask a simple question: What if the hero of prophecy fails?
Mijn go to boek is The Hobbit van Tolkien. Ik vind het een heerlijk onschuldig verhaaltje dat makkelijk leest en herleest.
