Excellent followup to The Crown Conspiracy. Though followup may not be the right word, since The Crown Conspiracy was essentially a standalone with hints of the larger picture, while Avempartha goes straight into the deeper issues of Mr. Sullivan's richly imagined universe. After a superb re-acquittance with Royce and Hadrian in the first several pages, the novel actually continues more as a series opening with a lot of build-up in the first half, while the second half is just superb non-stopfull reviewSullivan delivers another quick knock-out with Avempartha, in the second installment of the Riyria Revelations! This is a fantastic second entry, bringing back our favorite thieves in Hadrian and Royce in a whole new adventure. Sullivan again keeps things extremely light. The worldbuilding is not as emphasized, but the plot develops quite nicely, specially due to the linearity of the story. After reading a couple of the prequels Riyria Chronicles, and now my second Revelations book, I
March 2012: Reading the book this time & in order. It was good on a re-read, better in order.Feb 2009: I have the ARC pdf to review. It was a really good, fun read. It should have been a quick one, but reading a pdf just isn't that easy for me. I can't wait to sit down with the first book & hope the next one is done soon. Yes, I read the 2d book first & still enjoyed it. That's surprising. The second book stands just fine alone, makes me want to read the first & the one that

So it's been a long while since the last time I read this book and a lot has been added since then because my husband added some seeds into it as he was working on books 3 - 6. I really like the way it came out. The first chapter is completly reworked - The original first chapter was thrown away completly and the new first chapter is probably my favorite of all the chapters in the series - which is like - I'm not sure maybe 70 chapters? Anyway I recalled this book being my least favorite of the

Every now and then it happens that we find a book or a series of books that we really enjoy. That's very nice when it happens after a long run of mediocre..."meh" reads. That's what happened here. I like the first book in this "series" and I liked this one just as well. (complete disclosure I'm reading these in a compilation volume that contains volumes 1 and 2.)We are slowly learning about "Riyria" here and as we do so we get an exciting and enjoyable story of what's happening "currently".
