Riyria Revelations
By: Michael J. Sullivan
Narrated by: Tim Gerard Reynolds
Book 1 – Theft of Swords
Book 2 – Rise of Empire
Book 3 – Heir of Novron
This is my favorite completed fantasy series. The end of this book is exciting and very fulfilling. Many books will rush to the ending leaving you wanting more, but this wraps up the story so very well. Even though this did not influence my decision it most certainly adds to the quality of this series, #9 The Riyria Chronicles is currently 4 books that take place starting 8 years prior and #16 Legends of the First Empire is Michael J. Sullivan’s current series that takes place over 3,000 years in the past. All of this content makes for great world building as everything adds a little more to the world of Elan. The magic in this world is pretty low key and does not take a big part in this story and instead focuses on 2 main protagonists Hadrian and Royce which compliment each other extremely well and makes for incredible story telling. On a side note Michael and his wife Robin are so friendly when I met them. They self publish their books now via kickstarter and have side contracts with audible so that they can use one of the best narrators around in Tim Gerard Reynolds.
