THE SECRET IS IN THE TOWER. THE PROBLEM IS THE BEAST. THE ANSWER IS TWO THIEVES. When a destitute young woman hires two thieves to help save her remote village from nocturnal attacks, they are drawn into the schemes of the wizard Esrahaddon.

What did you think? They were coming to lynch you?He shrugged. What can I say? Im a glass-half-empty kinda guy.Half empty? Hadrian chuckled. "Was there ever any drink in that glass? It's been less than one year since I read this series for the first time, but a reread was already in order. And I'm hoping to reread the rest of the series fairly soon as well. Just like with the first reading, I absolutely adored this one. The first book in the series (the first half of Theft of Swords) is reallyfull reviewSullivan delivers another quick knock-out with Avempartha, in the second installment of the Riyria Revelations! This is a fantastic second entry, bringing back our favorite thieves in Hadrian and Royce in a whole new adventure. Sullivan again keeps things extremely light. The worldbuilding is not as emphasized, but the plot develops quite nicely, specially due to the linearity of the story. After reading a couple of the prequels Riyria Chronicles, and now my second Revelations book, I
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 character development of Royce was very good, but overall, I was still hovering around the 3.5 star mark for this story. I am enjoying the story and look forward to the next, but am not 100% engaged yet. In
Michael J. Sullivan is now a favorite of mine, i'm determined to read everything he writes. I'm never bored reading this series, it's way too much fun. I think it is special thing when an author is capable of making you truly feel for his characters, major or minor.I loved learning more about the world, the mythos, the elves. I also loved the small stories within the story.Again, the character's were amazing. Arista, Eshraddon, Theron, Thrace, Magnus the dwarf. I had to save the best for last,
*** 4.35 ***A buddy read with my friends at BB&B, because we love Hadrian and Royce!Back with one of the best bromance couples ever, the thieving duo of Hadrian and Royce. The second in the Riyria Revelations, this book starts couple of years after the events which first introduced us to this risk taking, butt kicking and at this point, somewhat infamous team of very capable "retrievers of objects". Since the last big job, their names have become well known and even badly written plays are
3.5 Stars The bane of having expectations. I went into this expecting a The Lies of Locke Lamora type thief story set in an epic expansive world. It is certainly witty at times, the characters are likable, the story itself is well told, even though the transition between The Crown Conspiracy and this book was a bit disjointed. What I wasn't expecting was that this is really a modernized classic fantasy. Lots of inspiration from Tolkien. I love me some Tolkien, but I would have preferred knowing
Every now and then it happens that we find a book or a series of books that we really enjoy. That's very nice when it happens after a long run of mediocre..."meh" reads. That's what happened here. I like the first book in this "series" and I liked this one just as well. (complete disclosure I'm reading these in a compilation volume that contains volumes 1 and 2.)We are slowly learning about "Riyria" here and as we do so we get an exciting and enjoyable story of what's happening "currently".
