The Locke Lamora novels are VERY well written. I will warn you that Book 2 does a way better job of be inclusive of the ladies than the first book. The first book has fewer female characters, but the ones there are come across fairly well and are three-dimensional characters.
But the lady pirates in book two make it all worth it. Without spoiling anything, there's one moment when the captain says, "Mommy's gotta go kill these bastards, you stay here, baby" that made me laugh out loud. It's really quite wonderful. Drakasha deserves her own series of books.

They're definitely, in my opinion, worth reading.
