Milo, aka “Bane of Kings”, runs down his list of Top 25 novels of the year, featuring novels from science fiction and fantasy genres, as well as young adult books.
Shadowhawk reviews the first novel in the Riyria Chronicles prequel series.
“This book is everything I could have and wanted to ask for in a prequel.” ~Shadowhawk, The Founding Fields
Milo, aka “Bane of Kings”, writes an advance review of the second novel in the Riyria Chronicles duology, “The Rose and the Thorn”, by Michael J. Sullivan, published by Orbit Books and out September 17th.
“An excellent second act in the Riyria Chronicles. Michael J. Sullivan’s The Rose and the Thorn manages to be even better than The Crown Tower, making this book, and the duology – one of my favourite reads of 2013.” ~Bane of Kings, The Founding Fields
Milo, aka “Bane of Kings” reviews The Crown Tower by Michael J. Sullivan, the opening title in the Riyria Chronicles Duology, published by Orbit Books on August 6.
“This is how prequels should be done. Smart, clever – engaging, The Crown Tower is a stellar return to the world of Riyria, accessible for newcomers and veterans of the series alike – one of the strongest novels of the year so far.” ~Bane of Kings, The Founding Fields
Bane of Kings selects his twenty-five favourite novels of 2012.
“2012 has been a great year for books, with some spectacular picks that will please fantasy, historical fiction and science fiction fans alike.” ~The Founding Fields
Bane of Kings reviews the breathtaking final installment in the Riryia Revelations series by Michael J. Sullivan, which collects the novels Wintertide and Percepliquis, and is titled Heir of Novron. This omnibus is published by Orbit Books, but all of the Riryia novels were self published individually first. This Omnibus was released in January 2012.
“A wonderful, spectacular conclusion to a series which has seen Sullivan launch into competition with the likes of Brandon Sanderson and Joe Abercrombie. Strong characters, strong plot, strong pretty much everything - Heir of Novron and the Riryia series are novels that any true fantasy fan should read.” ~The Founding Fields
Michael J. Sullivan is the author of the highly successful Riyria Revelations fantasy novels, a series of six novels featuring the thieving duo Royce Melborn and Hadrian Blackwater. The success of these novels is a simple and hard fact, considering all the awards and nominations that have come Michael’s way since he released The Crown Conspiracy, the first novel in the series. Once I was done reading the novels sometime in February, I got in touch with Michael about doing a guest post for the site and he obliged so I bring you Michael’s first guest appearance on The Founding Fields.
Bane of Kings reviews the second omnibus in the Riyria Revelations series, Rise of Empire, written by Michael J. Sullivan, and containing the novels Nyphron Rising and The Emerald Storm. The edition that I’m reviewing right now is the UK edition, which is published by Orbit Books.
“A delightful, entertaining and page-turning read that reminds us just how enjoyable, and how good – the Riyria Revelations series is. A must-buy for all fantasy lovers.” ~The Founding Fields
Shadowhawk reviews the third and final volume in the Riyria Revelations series by Michael J. Sullivan, collecting together the novels Wintertide and Percepliquis.
“An explosive finale to the saga of Royce, Hadrian and Arista, Heir of Novron is simply fantastic in scope and execution. A must read of the year.” ~The Founding Fields
Shadowhawk reviews the second volume in the Riyria Revelations series by Michael J. Sullivan, collecting together the novels Nyphron Rising and The Emerald Storm.
“Michael J. Sullivan adds more layers of depth and nuance to the world of Elan and finally begins to show just why the series is called Riyria Revelations and not something else. A fitting continuation to Theft of Swords.” ~The Founding Fields
