Review: Riyria Revelations

Riyria Revelations Collection by Michael J. Sullivan

Theft of Swords

Good start to a series. The sense of bigger things are happening in the world is palpable. Some of the characters are a bit too cliched. The story telling makes up for it. Easy read for kids. Looking forward to the next books.

Rise of Empire

Should be called “rise of conspiracies”. Quite a few surprises in this installment. While the world building is well done, the pacing of the middle half of the book feels a bit off.

The style of 2 separate stories shows very strongly as well. Enough that it feels like I can’t remember the details of the first story by the end of the book.

Looking forward to the conclusion in book 3

Heir of Novron

Rare is the book that makes me want to read the whole series again after I am done with the final book. Mr. Sullivan put in many leads that’s only now (at the conclusion of the final book) beginning to make sense!

Highly recommended.
