A review by reynastillo
Theft of Swords by Michael J. Sullivan
5.0
I never, ever, review anything. This is the first thing I've reviewed in my life (and posted).
But I couldn't help myself. The book is just that good. I'm not reading a book, I'm watching a movie, going on an adventure with Royce and Hadrian. Sullivan did an amazing job with making the book feel real, authentic, and fresh. His heroes were not the typical knights in shining armor, but partners in crime with mysterious pasts. Maybe a book this complex would've bombed had another author tried to pull it off, but Sullivan put these ideas together beautifully.
At first, I didn't even want to read this book. It seemed too gory, too cliche, too inappropriate, and too long (I'd rather read a short book I don't like than a long one). It was none of these things. Let me tell you, finally picking this book up was something of a happy mistake: I didn't mean (or want) to do it, but when I did, I didn't regret it. At first I just got the book to placate my friend who says it's her favorite, and then it became one of mine.
Anyone who's wondering if they should read this book, try it. You won't be disappointed.
Thank you, Michael J. Sullivan, for creating the best book I've read in a long time and never giving up on publishing it!
