Has anyone else here read these? I really can't offer up enough praise for them, and they have a connection to us Final Fantasy people, what with the main character being named after our favorite treasure hunter and all. ;)

The first book is set in what is more or less a fantasy version of Renaissance Venice, and it's about a gang of thieves and con artists. Lots of great characters, evil sea creatures, lush description, fun wordplay, and fates worse than death. Very unique and extremely well-written. The are seven books planned, the first two are already out, and the third is supposed to be coming some time next year.

If you're at all interested, I suggest you check out Scott Lynch's website, where he has some excerpts: http://www.scottlynch.us/excerpts.html
