A review by smurf2416
Age of War by Michael J. Sullivan
5.0
This series is really taking off. There are a couple reasons Michael J Sullivan is my favorite fantasy author, and they are highlighted in this book.
1. Characters- Rule number one for me when reading a book is that I have to care about the characters. This book is 5 stars because of Suri, Roan, Gifford, Raithe, Persephone and at least another 5. Amazing characters, and characters that I genuinely care about.
2. Book length- I have no problem reading a 1,200 page book, and actually enjoy it. But don't write 1,200 pages if the book could be done in 600 pages. Michael J Sullivan writes what the story needs and not more. There is no "Yea the first 300 pages were a little dry, but it picked up from there".
Fantastic book. Fantastic series. Not as good as Revelations, but dang it is getting there and I never thought it would be possible. There would be a lot more good books in the world if all authors were like Mr. Sullivan.
