Praise for Michael J.

I wish I had reread the first right before, as I had forgotten a few details. But I was able to get by. My only complaint was I hate the elf prince. If his POV of certain events wasn't so essential, I would have skipped all his chapters. Kudos to the author though, for many different types of characters. Thanks for another great read!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Always enjoy a Sullivan book!By LisaThe book by this author have all be wonderful. He knows how to create wonderfully intense characters. He doesn't make them jump from the frying pan to the fire, to the inferno, to the inferno of hell and so one until suspension of disbelief is impossible. I am tired of characters that manage to walk ten miles on two broken legs. Sullivan's plots are believable, in the realms he has created, and they are surprising.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A great epic fantasy!By CustomerOnce again Michael hits it out of the park. While not completely breaking traditional tropes, he still adds enough of a spin that it feels fresh. He also writes some of the best female protagonists that I've read.I love the arc of telling a prequel story about what eventually becomes legend in the earlier stories of Riyria. It makes me want to reread the Riyria books again with this new perspective. The only down side is having to wait for the next one.
