Book

Rise of Empire (2011)

This is really a 4 and a a half star book for me. A lot of the errors from The Crown Conspiracy have been fixed and you adore Royce and Hadrian even more than you already did. I sped through this book while keeping in mind work and it is the Christmas season. There were just a few things that I d...

Book

Heir of Novron (2012)

It's not often I read a fantasy series with an ending that makes me stop, shake my head and say "Wow! Just wow! That was truly exceptional!" This series was quite an emotional rollercoaster, with webs within webs, plots within plots, and a secret that Mr. Sullivan saved for the last page that lef...

Book

The Rose and the Thorn (2013)

This book is, of course, the second of the prequel novels and does a great job of filling in some gaps of several key characters that will have roles in the Ryria Revelations series. Lots of swashbuckling action surrounded by some nice character-driven plotting. I think one of this author’s gre...

Book

Theft of Swords (2011)

I am incredibly let down by this. After loving The Crown Tower, this was such a disappointment to read. I guess Sullivan's writing has just improved a lot, which I really commend him for, but it's left me let down by this. There was just too many words in here that weren't needed. Descriptions we...

Book

The Crown Tower (2013)

This book has been in my recommendations from Goodreads for a really, REALLY long time. I'm so glad I finally read it! I haven't read the Revelations, but I didn't need to at all to read this book. It was fantastic anyway. It was fast-paced, action filled, and the dynamics between Hadrian and Roy...

Book

The Crown Conspiracy (2008)

This is officially my new favorite series. I loved the adventure, suspense, banter & history. The plot was well written & interesting. I loved both Hadrian & Royce. Even Alric & his sister grew on me. I think I'm just a sucker for books with new worlds & history in them like game of thrones & suc...

Book

Wintertide (2010)

No spoilers.I wish I didn't let these books sit that long on my TBR. This is the fifth of a six book series, and I have to say that it keeps getting better and better with each book, as a bit more is uncovered of the world and of the characters. Interesting storyline and twist at the end, and a...

Book

Pradawna Stolica (2013)

I cannot begin to describe this series, honestly. It's always difficult to review your favourite books, as it happens this made it to my favourites. When I started this series, I didn't know what to expect, but the reviews were positive and I thought I'd give it a try. How glad I am I did? This w...

Book

Percepliquis (2012)

This was a great finish to a series that only got stronger as it progressed. What at first seems like a two-buddies-against-the-world story really evolves into much more. Action never strays from the two main characters for long, but supporting characters are fleshed out nicely and, looking bac...

Book

The Viscount and the Witch (2011)

This is my first foray into this author's work, and the first time I've read anything labelled as Fantasy in many a moon. I've no knowledge whatsoever of the Riyria world or series, so frankly, I was glad that this was a quick dip into this particular pool. After all, no one wants to jump in if t...

Book

Avempartha (2009)

I liked this book a little more than the first one in that while it continued to have vibrant characters (including of course, all the new ones) and obviously the same background, the storyline was little less predictable. Unfortunately this book took a slightly darker turn which while I probab...

Avempartha (2009) by Michael J. Sullivan
Book

Hollow World (2014)

I understand that the current norm is to compare everything that already has been done. The book pulled that aspect of current society off easily. but the near constant referencing of every book, movie, or tv show was a bit over the top for me. Not that it was bad; I got about 80% of the referenc...

Book

Nyphron Rising (2009)

Vol 3 – Nyphron Rising 5-StarsIn my last review covering Thief of Swords – book 1: Vol 1 and 2, I mentioned it was a struggle to keep reading and not give up in it, but half way through book 2 it had finally paid off, and I immediately started on this one without any delay. Vol. 3 Slows down just...

Wintertide (The Riyria Revelations, #5) (2010)

Where to begin with this book... Trying to keep this short and spoiler free - Amelia has to be one of the worst POV characters in the genre. This book starts out great, ends great, middle section - not so much. Amelia's story (that started in the last book) began with promise - simple maid, treat...

Book

Wintertij (2010)

The imagery in this book was fantastic. I don't know how else to say it. I'm a big fan of worldbuilding when it comes to fantasy, and Michael did an excellent job 'taking' the reader to Wintertide and feeling, smelling and hearing what goes on during the festival. And like the previous four boo...

Book

Zdradziecki plan (2010)

Meets the expectations, but follows a very predictable path. A smooth and pleasant reading experience that makes you want to read the last (6th) part as soon as you finish with Wintertide, but ... I have a guts feeling that in 3 weeks time I won't even remember what was it about.On the pluses sid...

La Conspiración de Melengar (2008)

When the murderer of the king frames two thieves for hire for the assassin, he couldn't have done a poorer job choosing...Our main protagonists (Riyria) Royce and Hadrian are both wonderful characters. In fact, most characters introduced in this book are quite good- whether it be the entitled an...

Book

Het Koningscomplot (2008)

I chose to read this series because months after reading game of thrones I needed another great fantasy series to sate my needs. This book while not on the same level as GRRM was still very good. The best way to describe it was just pure fun! It was just a great book with fun adventure and charac...

La Espada de Avempartha (2009)

When Royce and Hadrian are hired to steal a sword from an elven tower and save a young woman's village, they are once again at the center of conspiracy. Michael Sullivan exceeds his earlier success with his latest installment of the Riyria Conspiracy. This novel will keep you up to late in the ni...

Book

De Elfentoren (2009)

An fun tale -- not without flaws, but still fun. The story itself is fine, but the our two thief heroes is what makes these books so fun -- they just have good chemistry. Like any good buddy cop movie they have conflicting motivations and personalities, but their playful disagreements are fun a...

Book

Der Turm von Avempartha (2009)

The second book in this series has me wanting more. But not in a sense that it has built more of the story and I can't wait for the next installment, more along the lines that I was hoping for a lot more from this story and didn't get it. There are some developments in the main plot and the chara...

Book

De Opkomst van Nyphron (2013)

End of Nyphron rising. This story is really starting to gain momentum. I am really enjoying the character building of not only the two main characters but some of the side characters too. In this story we are finally given a hint, a sliver of a glimpse at the bigger picture. Sullivan is really pr...

Book

Birodalom születik (2013)

I enjoyed this book, just not much as the first two. It was a good third book and certainly laid out all of the major pieces on the game board, so to speak. A lot of new characters were introduced, which sometimes made it difficult to follow, and perhaps my all time favorite chapter - 14 - from ...

Jester, The: A Riyria Short Story (2014)

Where we meet the Riyria in an impossible situation. In order to live, they have to solve the Jester's puzzle...A very short story (it took me around half an hour to read it) but intense and with a moral (greed and cowardice are not rewarded..oh no, they're not. But shhhh, I won't say more).If yo...

The Death of Dulgath

Sullivan Chapter Three Maranon The weather remained horrible all the way to Mehan. If the clouds weren’t following them, as Hadrian imagined, and all of northern Avryn was suffering the same deluge, then Wayward’s pond was likely a lake after the three additional days of downpours that soaked Roy...

Necessary Heartbreak

It was magnificent, looking so much like a storybook castle that she momentarily forgot about the evils and horrors that Leah had described. “I will do the talking,” said Leah in a low voice. “Keep your veil high on your face. We don’t want anyone to recognize you. If a Roman soldier addresses yo...
