phee 's review for:
The Crown Tower
by Michael J. Sullivan
Riyria, it’s elvish for two.
And what a duo these men are. Some of you may know that I inhale read the Riyria Revelations series. It’s hard to read about Royce and Hadrian and not fall in love. Damn near impossible actually. I certainly did, and I knew I wouldn’t leave it long before jumping into Chronicles. I did actually try to start this one towards the end of October but I went to Japan then fell into a HUGE reading slump. Anyways, I picked this up again yesterday and what do you know. Inhale read.
Sullivan’s writing has grown so much. It’s wonderful to see such a difference. Don’t get me wrong, the first Revelations books were good. But by the end they were excellent. The writing here is even better than in HoN.
It’s so nice to return to this world and these wonderful characters. I’m so glad that Sullivan decided to write prequels and not sequels. The way he ended Revelations was so beautiful and perfect. Any sequel would have undone that magic. At the start of Revelations the duo are already well established as the wonder team, capable of pulling of impossible tasks. It’s so nice to see how they get started and to see the legendary heist of the Crown Tower.
I like that you could technically start with these books if you are new to the Riyria world. These Chronicles novels can be read before Revelations and each is a stand alone novel. But if you are new, then I would urge you to read the Revelations series first. It makes this all the more satisfying and as you know how it all comes to an end, you can just sit back and enjoy the journey when you get to these books.
I love that we got to see more of Gwen’s backstory in this. I adore her, and I appreciate her all the more now. She is so strong and kicks ass in the best way.
I also really enjoyed the beginnings on Royce and Hadrian’s relationship. I say relationship because they really don’t get on at first. But as they say, opposites attract.
Also Royce was full of sass and eye rolls, gosh I love him.
I’ll probably jump into the next one in the next few days. Being back with my boys has reignited the fire and thirst for more. I could read about Royce and Hadrian forever.
