The Lies of Locke Lamora, by Scott Lynch.
Thieving priests, sorcery, sword fights, secret police…all going about their business in a city made of glass by alliens. I ask you, what more could you want? Oh yeah – there is also alchemy. Can’t forget the alchemy….
Rich in detail without being cluttered. Complexity without confusion. Pacing that leaves you breathless, but not exhausted.
Start it Saturday afternoon, read all weekend and call in sick Monday to finish it off.

Monday’s a holiday over here, so I won’t even have to call in sick. Done.
