Editor’s note The Lies of Locke Lamora (2006) is one of the best-rated fantasy debuts here: a con-artist heist in a Venice-like city. Red Seas Under Red Skies and The Republic of Thieves follow and rate a little lower. The series is planned at seven books; the fourth, The Thorn of Emberlain, has been delayed for years.
