Luke Smith-Palomeque asked this question about The Lies of Locke Lamora (Gentleman Bastard, #1):
So far, I've been astounded by Patrick Rothfuss' Kingkiller series and I'm aching for something with the same oomph. This has been compared a few times, once by Pat himself on here, but I wanted the readers opinion. Is this a series worth getting into? I love everything about the Kingkiller Chronicles and this has peaked my interest!

The feel of the worlds and atmosphere, the plot lines, as well as the writing styles of the authors are so completely different. That being said, they are both very, very good. You're just getting something very different from each. (less)
