I have a numbered edition of the original release of The Lies Of Locke Lamora after randomly seeing it for preorder back when I was a fresh young cherry private in the army. To this day, its one of my favorite books.
I would say its arguably on par with lies if you take into account character writing the games in the third books are a bit mild but in terms of character I felt that book was in par with lies While a believe that gentlemen bastard has very very strong books
You have suggested some great book series. One question. When you read a book series do you read them back to back? Or do you take a break between book 1 2 and 3?
That book looks amazing! I do think Scott Lynch will be coming out with book 4 relatively soon. He said he was out getting new author photos, so could be! I haven't been able to get the fantasy subscription at Broken Binding but I did sign up for the new Sci Fi subscription starting with Andy Weir books 🚀
I have heard good things of the book. And The Broken Binding always does amazing work. I have this one on the way as well as Never Die by Rob J. Hayes.
It depends what Tier of their subscription you are on as to whether it is signed or not. Only tier 1 is signed. They are doing the 3 already out and then they will do the fourth one later
I don’t think they do that for the subscription books but maybe I’m wrong. I haven’t been following them for long enough to really know that it’s just what I’ve gathered. I am about to finish the first book and I really wish I had that edition so I would definitely buy it if it goes on general sale
If they have any leftover stock of a series they go on general sale. Leftover stock is when a subscriber skips a series, so how much stock there is depends on each series. So keep an eye out on their newsletter and twitter and Instagram for updates.
I was probably more mixed on this than you (I just liked it and thought it was good fun but it was sold to me as second coming of J.) but I really enjoyed the sequels!
I'm a low numbered tier 1 subscriber and I've been a huge fan of The Broken Binding, literally from day 1. But unfortunately this was their weakest Special Edition in the subscription so far in my opinion. The foil on the boards just don't do it for me at all, and the digital edging is a very weird off colour that does not match the colour theme of the cover at all, even though it's green. The best thing about the book are the end papers which are gorgeous.
@@mikesbookreviews no worries... one day I too will be a Tier 1 subscriber and get the sweet sweet signatures ;-). At least I hope I signed up but the books are good even without that feature
@LoveBooks-co8gp I'm glad to hear that. I haven't got to it yet, took a gander down Abercrombie road and I've been on that road for the whole journey because his books are too good 😅 plan on reading Republic of Thieves this summer
Wow as one of my favorite books of all time, I really want that addition!
It's ridiculous.
Merphy Napier would probably try to steal that edition if given the chance. It's her favorite book of all time!!
She's one of the ones who think I hate the book ha ha
According to the waitlist, this is the closest I’ll ever get to opening a broken binding box
Exactly 😂. I’ve been on their waiting list a whole year
Really? I joined the waitlist in November and got accepted just in time for The Lies of Locke Lamora.
@@starcrossyouth don’t get me wrong, I’m holding out hope. I just don’t have any luck with these sorts of things. 🤞 plus there’s thousands on the list
According to my bank account, this is the closest I'll ever get.
🤣

Nice!
Wow, what a nice edition. 🤩
Thank you for sharing.
This was my first Broken Binding book. I just got it this morning and dang, it is a gorges book 😍
My wait-list finally came up for this edition. Mine is in shipping status. So excited to finally get something from them. I hope I like the books.
It'll be worth it!
I am forever on the waitlist!
That blows!
@@mikesbookreviews hey I get to live vicariously through you though my friend!
I never get something that cool looking. I envy you Mike
Truly blessed!
Wow! That edge painting is beautiful!
All their work is incredible
I really did like this book. 2nd was OK too. Will get to the 3rd this year. Lovely edition!
That reminds me that I've never read the third book - now added to my to do list.
I would say its arguably on par with lies if you take into account character writing the games in the third books are a bit mild but in terms of character I felt that book was in par with lies
While a believe that gentlemen bastard has very very strong books
Enjoy!
Definitely looks like a good read. I'll have to buy
Enjoy!

I'm hoping so for those who have been waiting forever.
Book 2 in that series is my favorite.
Seems folks love it or hate it.
I have heard good things of the book. And The Broken Binding always does amazing work. I have this one on the way as well as Never Die by Rob J. Hayes.
Loved Never Die!

Ah, I didn't realize that. I always see the social media posts about how fast the author can sign and just assumed all the special editions were.
Lovely book!
Insanely jealous. One of my favorite books of all time and couldn't get a subscription before this came out. Hopefully they do a general sale soon
I don’t think they do that for the subscription books but maybe I’m wrong. I haven’t been following them for long enough to really know that it’s just what I’ve gathered. I am about to finish the first book and I really wish I had that edition so I would definitely buy it if it goes on general sale
I don’t know but I bought special edition of Perdido Street Station without any issues and I am not a subscriber so maybe go and check it out?

Bummer!
I checked their twitter replies btw and they said that the general sale would likely happen in early 2025.
Am I the only one who wants to see Mike interview Rothfuss? :D
I think I'm going to pick up the Dandelion Dynasty set from them tomorrow
That set is beautiful!
@@mikesbookreviews Thanks for this reply man, as I totally forgot to order it til just now lmao.
I was probably more mixed on this than you (I just liked it and thought it was good fun but it was sold to me as second coming of J.) but I really enjoyed the sequels!
Yeah, it falls in with Name of the Wind on that one in that people act as if it can cure cancer and I just didn't see that.
So is that how broken bindings works? Or did they just send you this?
What would I do with the dust jackets if I took them off the books?
Make a really handsome framed photo?
@@mikesbookreviews ha!
I liked books 2 and 3, and it is not really like A Song of Ice and Fire, these books are more autoconclusive.
I just got the trilogy boxset
Of paperbacks 😂
Hey, the words are the same!

😋 GOOD BUZZ 🍺
respectfully disagreeing re their special edition books always come signed. I am on Tier 2 subscription and none of my books come signed :-).
Yeah, I was wrong about that one. My fault.
@@mikesbookreviews no worries... one day I too will be a Tier 1 subscriber and get the sweet sweet signatures ;-). At least I hope I signed up but the books are good even without that feature
I thought lies was amazing though the ending was depressing as hell. The sequels i wasn't as big on, missed a lot of the kinship banter of the first
I feel like though the second book has a few shortcomings in terms of characters all the books were on par😊
I think book 2 is better than book 1
I’m glad to hear you didn’t like Locke L as much as others. I thought it was only ok.
blasphemy.
Nah I am of the uncommon opinion that the second books is better
@@PsilocybeJediI am of the opinion that 3rd book is pretty great
@LoveBooks-co8gp I'm glad to hear that. I haven't got to it yet, took a gander down Abercrombie road and I've been on that road for the whole journey because his books are too good 😅 plan on reading Republic of Thieves this summer
I hated this book so much
