Ran Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Can't see a problem with discussion, though I'm not sure the underlying concept is specifically an issue to do with publishing -- film, television, music can all have instances of predicted follow-ups that don't materialize. It may be better for General rather than Literature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lies And Perfidy Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 I'm just saying, if you feel like you got ripped off by the Locke Lamora books...well, you should probably have been reading more closely! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.T. Phipps Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 God knows how many shows have ended on cliffhangers. Dark Matter was a great...okay, okay sci-fi show and it ended on a cliffhanger just this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Longfoot Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 I'm a bit hesitant to post this, since I was "fooled" before, but another update from Scott that seems legit. There was just a new episode of a podcast called "Unreliable Narrators" where Scott was interviewed along with Elizabeth Bear. It's quite amusing and informative, so I'd recommend a listen in any case- http://unreliablenarrators.net/2017/11/120-author-spotlight-scott-lynch-and-elizabeth-bear/. However, on the specific point of Thorn, Scott says on the podcast that it is definitely coming out in 2018, and the way he discusses that and other current involvements (short stories and a secret project), it seems legit and something I'd take stock in (but see previous comment on being fooled before).

IlyaP Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Heh, my fiancee finished reading Red Seas Under Red Skies last night around 3am. She then immediately plunged into the first 40, 50 pages of Republic of Thieves immediately to find out what happens next to Locke. *evil cackle* Another Lynch fan successfully hooked!

Ser Scot A Ellison Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 So, I’m re-reading LoLL. Why would Locke agree to go to Raven’s Reach with the Salvaras in the first place. He knows they know he’s running a con because he told them he was. Shouldn’t he have been suspicious that something was up when Don Salvara claimed to be tapped out? Wasn’t that a huge tell? Didn’t the GB’s thoughly research their target before starting their game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reread Lies a couple of years ago (when Thorn was supposed to be released), and I thought that was explained completely? I have a wicked head-cold right now, so details are fuzzy.

I have a wicked head-cold right now, so details are fuzzy. It is sort of papered over when Locke, recovering from being sealed inside a barrel of horsepiss and reeling from the deaths of his friends says that "this is exactly what Chains would have wanted them to achieve". Locke and Jean also desperately needed money at that point. That said, I still have to wonder what he thought he would gain by going there. I still think Don Salvara claiming he couldn't give Fehrwight another few thousand Crowns was tipping his hand. Locke should have known the Don wasn't really tapped out and that this was problematic given that they had told the Salvaras that they were attempting to steal from them when they pretended to be Midnighters.
