Locke Lamoras rule went like this - a successful swindle erfordete rehearse three months of planning, three weeks to get him, and finally three seconds, which decided whether we won the trust of his victim, or had lost forever .Chains Gentelmen-crooks, the Calo and Galdo Zwillige, Jean, bow and Locke playing against Capa Barsavi Pezon the good, while the peers of Camorr all the rules of art, and to the Privy Peace exempt.

'One day, Locke Lamora', he waxed prophetically, 'one day you're in your immense pride so great, so magnificent, so overwhelming Mist constructed to burn the sky, the moon dance in a circle and the gods themselves most enthusiastically comets are shit. I just hope that I may live to see. "I must say I was pretty excited about the book. But I've always liked, in other invented worlds to dive that our so equal, and yet differ so much from her. Camorr is a medieval-looking city that is built on the ruins of an even older culture, the people left high and glass residential towers. The Alchemy is a high art with which one can bring light to glow and even manipulate plants and animals according to their requirements and design. Magic, however, is only a certain impact of human subject - often called pay magician - and their art are just to high amounts of money available. The
Hergoz of Camorr - the ruler of the city - and the Capa - the Boss of the underworld - have made a special agreement, known as the Secret Peace: nobles may be used by the right people - cheaters, murderers, predators and their ilk - not to be bothered. It is to this peace-Gentelmen violate the crooks when their brilliant coup by pulling, and exclude the nobles like chicken. But they are smart enough to never be caught. They steal not for the money, so they can start to seem very little. They do it to put their skills to the test because they are fun to concoct plans to make preparations, and their success then with luxuriant feasts in their secret hiding place under the temple of Perelandro to . celebrate The
Sanza twins can do everything - acting and fight - but do not reveal anything in particular. Except, perhaps, to cheat at cards. But they are notoriously famous for the right people. Locke because of his stature is not a viable fighter, but a gifted actor, liar and planners. And plug it can also damn good. My Tens hold out as long as he only comes to Jean. The moderate man is in fact the bats of the force, and anyone with a little common sense, feared. Bug is a Gentelman hoodlum in training, but similar in its very spontaneity of the young Locke. The five are blind trust, rely on each other, and even, on occasions when they are not really squeamish, are they likable anyway. Maybe because they are only human and just full of errors.
There are victories that have a bitter aftertaste.What irritates me to read, at least in the beginning, were the short flashbacks between chapters, in which events have been described from the past. Sometimes, particularly towards the end, it was so exciting that I was willing to fly across the interludes simply and directly read on. But what I did but not because they were very interesting yet, and much of the past of the main characters and the city betrayed. It would have been nice if the German publishing the map reprinted with Camorr would see that on all the many new places that you had to remember, would have a map for a better view taken care of. But since Google is your friend. The book can be read well and fluently, the translation seems good so far. The language can therefore rough in places, and events described can sometimes be quite disturbing, but given the society in which the whole play, I do not see unsuitable.
All in all, the book is highly recommended, and I find it sad that I've discovered only now, when there has been some Year is out. I've made up my mind once I will postpone the second part of the series, 'Storm over red water', have read, I ask a German fan site for the show on its feet. Let's see if I actually run through the ...
