I grow to love Royce Hadrian and as I read the books These two characters are just so wonderful and I feel they fit together nicely as best friends and family Even when one is mad with the other they just get it done and get over it You ready Royce asked For what Turn around Let s go back to back and link arms You re kidding We aren t going to do that again, are we Hadrian said miserably I ve been sitting in cold water for hours I ll cramp You know another way to get up there Royce asked, and [...]

It s safe to say now that with each installment, each book in the series certainly gets better in its quality consistently The 2nd omnibus in Riyria Revelations titled Rise of Empire consists of book 3, Nyphron Rising and book 4, The Emerald Storm and it s a superior omnibus by far compared to the previous omnibus, Theft of Swords Like my Theft of Swords review, I ll start my review after showing you another beautiful book cover done right by Marc Simonetti and a beautiful fanart of a scene in T [...]

4 5 StarsI really enjoyed reading Rise of Empire, I definitely enjoyed it then Theft of Swords This book certainly picked up the pace from book one, seriously interesting things actually happened in this book The plot was fast paced and stimulating I believe there was a fair bit of badassery going on I didn t even notice the weird emotionless POV much this time, like yeah it was obviously still there,but it s bearable because I ve finally warmed up to the characters This still isn t my favouri [...]

Rise of Empire is the second omnibus volume of the Riyria Revelations, which consists of book three, Nyphron Rising, and book four, The Emerald Storm Again, Hadrian and Royce set off on another job, which leads to a downward spiral of events Old and new enemies are greedily lurking in the shadows, and the Imperial Army is gaining influence with Queen Modina on the throne One thing leads to another for our two heroes, and I bet they both wish to retire now Hopefully, everything works out for our [...]

First book felt like a very long build up Altough I enjoyed learning about the pasts of Hadrian and Royce immensely and wanted of it, I ve felt impatient time to time I love to hate having opposing feelings let the mud wrestling begin And vice versa I adore the term vice versa it has this making sense while not making sense thing going on with it s meaning and the actual sounding of it sneakyAlric still seems to be an annoying twat but Arista has come a long way Actually, if you think about the [...]

I liked the first book a lot, but this book is just phenomenal I loved the war, the battle scenes were immerssive I really loved Hadrian in the first book, but it was Arista that blew my mind this book I saw someone say something about Sullivan being naively sexist and I can not disagree hard enough, I love the way he s written Arista Learning about Hadrians back story was nuts, I m just getting attached to this odd couple friendship I tend to gravitate towards strong friendships with two oppos [...]

This series just keeps getting better and better.Our heroes are once again thrown in two great adventures The first one, Nyphron Rising was fast paced, action packed, exciting and fun as the previous instalments, and the second, The Emerald Storm was a bit different Although it contained the fast pace and excitement, this adventure had a bit darker tone which I didn t expect but I liked it very much The story as a whole was great, I liked the way it progressed, but most of all, I liked the unexp [...]

4.5 Stars Rise of Empire was a really enjoyable compilation of Nyphron Rising and The Emerald Storm, books 3 and 4 in the Riyria series After a slow start in book 1 this series has really picked up, featuring two likeable protagonists whose characters and backstories were really fleshed out here, a great cast of supporting characters and lots of exciting adventures This omnibus continues the trend started in book 2 in developing the depth and scope of what was initially a light hearted fantasy a [...]

Another stellar installment in the Riyria Revelations series I loved every chapter of this book, or should I say both books, as this is a combination of books 3 and 4 Anyway, the way Michael J Sullivan writes just sucks you right into the world Forget your surroundings, because you will lose all sense of reality His descriptions of people, places, and things makes you feel like you are right there with Royce and Hadrian in the middle of the action.Book 3, Nyphron Rising, has the dynamic duo of R [...]

This is an omnibus of books 3 and 4 in the series The third follows well on the heels of the big battles and what amounts to a civil war with the installment of a puppet on the throne, with our favorite thieves getting caught up in the travail, with the search for the rightful heir on the way in the fourth book, with plenty of hijinks on the high seas to keep things interesting.What did I think about them They re pretty okay Granted, I ve read a lot of fantasy and a lot of great characters who a [...]

Strictly speaking, I would give the first and the second books 4 1 2 stars as it is I gave the first book 5 stars, leaving the second with 4 This is much darker book, but still a very enjoyable read A minor annoyance there are less interactions between Hadrian and Royce they are forced to work separately most of the time which made first book great Having said that, I still think the book is great, and it makes you want to read the last two novels of the series If you read and like the first boo [...]

In February last year I finished The Great Hunt by Robert Jordan, second book in The Wheel of Time series, determined I will never again pick up anything by this author to read I acknowledged that it was most imaginative worldbuilding and most detailed magic system, with sufficiently good enough prose, but there were these bits and pieces in his writing that were so irritating I couldn t stand a second any reading those books.Of course six months later I picked it up again And honestly I don t k [...]

Well I definitely seem to be having a differing opinion on this series than most people For me this one didn t impress me as much as the first one did I still inhaled it and it was certainly very good But I don t feel like it was better than Theft of Swords Perhaps it was because I knew what to expect Whilst all the stories are different, the reader has faith that Royce and Hadrian will find a clever way to get out of almost any impossible situation I am glad that the side characters don t seem [...]

Rise of Empire Usually I write reviews on books This time I am writing an author review Not sure if this is normal, but then I have never been one to be normal I am picky about authors I will continue to read over and over It seems often the case that an author will hold my attention in the beginning, and then lose it as a series progresses Not the case with Michael J Sullivan.He has a knack of befriending his readers not only through his characters, but also through personal contact with his re [...]
