" Rise of Empire is the second book written by Michael J. Sullivan in the Ryeria series. The books are long but well worth it. It was great! Hadrian and Royce, the protagonist in the series are fantastic. Can't wait for the last in the trilogy. "

" I continue to enjoy the storytelling in this series. The dialog between characters tends towards the stilted side, but I'm willing to overlook it for what is a very fun and interesting plot. "

" I absolutely loved this book! Although I didn't really have the time to read it I just couldn't put it down. The author writes in such an amazing way that you can be biting your nails in anticipation at one point and then laughing out loud the next. I received more than a few weird looks for doing just that while reading on the train. Cant wait to read the next one!! "

" The adventures of thief Royce Melborn and mercenary Hadrian Blackwater continue in this volume of the Riyria Revelations. As the New Empire emerges under the direction of the Empress Modina, who used to be a girl called Thrace, and armies march to battle, Royce and Hadrian struggle to find their role in the course of events. A secret of Hadrian's past is reveled, but much remains shrouded in mystery as the characters fight to determine what will happen to the world of Elan. A fun read, highly recommended. "

" We listened to this using an audible.com download. A great way to spend the evening rather than watch TV. A good adventure fantasy suitable for all audiences. The plot contains sword fighting, heroes, villains, magic and in has an unpredictable story line. The audible narrator is excellent! "
