The Gentleman Bastards are a gang of con artists. In direct defiance of Capa Barsavi, they swindle the richest folks of Camorr for massive amounts of money.

One description I've heard that feels apt is fantasy Ocean's Eleven, which feels really apt.

I love the author's style - (here's them describing Big Bird's role in Please Don't Eat the Pictures as a taste)

And the characters, oh I love the Gentleman Bastards so

Locke, whose most distinguishing physical characteristic is that he's a bit scrawny and otherwise utterly nondescript

But inside whose head lives the sort of audacious hubris that leads men to do glorious insane things

His best friend, right hand man, and group bruiser, Jean Tannen

You look at Jean Tannen and you see a sorta ugly fat dude with glasses

Do not laugh at him, or you may well join the list of people for whom that was the last damn thing they saw

Jean's a nice guy at heart, but give him a reason and he and the Wicked Sisters (his matched pair of fighting hatchets) will wreck your shit

The Sanza twins, generalists within the thieves and con artists' trade, and consummate card sharks and sarcastic assholes

ooooh.

You will like them so much, Sven

Locke is a complete and utter shit and it's great

I believe it
