Alternatives While We Wait
CrusherJen:
If you like the Locke Lamora books, you might enjoy The Palace Job, the Prophecy Con, and The Paladin Caper by Patrick Weekes.
A former noble who ran away from home to become a soldier (and is now a thief) must assemble a rather motley crew to steal back a family heirloom, and hijinks ensue. Their merry band of misfits includes a fast-talking tinkerer, a love priestess-turned-death priestess with a talking Warhammer (with three lines), an almost-wizard, an acrobatic fighting monk who refuses to battle people, and a unicorn shapeshifter whose fondness for virgins isn't quite what you'd expect... It's been described as a fantasy version of Ocean's Eleven or Leverage, with more than a dash of comedy. (For example, Lock's second-in-command Kail never fails to begin a fight with an insult about his opponent's mother.)
I really enjoyed the books, but I don't recommend starting them late at night. I've lost a lot of sleep that way over the last three days. ;D
