Commentary Toward Books The Crown Tower (The Riyria Chronicles #1)
TWO MEN WHO HATE EACH OTHER. ONE IMPOSSIBLE MISSION. A LEGEND IN THE MAKING.A warrior with nothing to fight for is paired with a thieving assassin with nothing to lose. Together they must steal a treasure that no one can reach. The Crown Tower is the impregnable remains of the grandest fortress ever built and home to the realm’s most valuable possessions. But it isn’t gold or jewels the old wizard is after, and this prize can only be obtained by the combined talents of two remarkable men. Now if Arcadius can just keep Hadrian and Royce from killing each other, they just might succeed.
The Riyria Revelations and The Riyria Chronicles are two separate, but related series, and you can start reading with either Theft of Swords (publication order) or The Crown Tower (chronological order).

So far I've put every one of these on my favorites shelf. The story here goes back to the beginning of Riyria ((view spoiler)[in the book an elvish word. It means something like 2 working together as 1...sort of. I gather it doesn't translate directly (hide spoiler)]).Before I elaborate any more, I'll say I recommend this. It's an excellent read and a good addition to the epic fantasy genre.Now, in more detail. It's possible to start here with this volume (as it's labeled "Book 1") or to readIf you seen my "reviews" of any of my books, you know I use this space to update people on various aspects of the books such as sales or specials.

"Old lunatic was right...We did make a good team." And thus a legend was born! I love origins stories of beloved characters and having read the Riyria Revelations first enabled me to have a greater appreciation of the two foremost and main characters, Hadrian and Royce. While one can start their introduction into the world of Riyria through the first Chronicles book, I find that having hindsight in this case really does, oddly, elevate the reading experience. It's awesome being able to pick out
This was a really fun read with an interesting, fast-paced plot and a number of likeable characters. The story was made more enjoyable by the fact that I was already invested in the 2 main characters from the main Riyria series however I actually think this book might be a better entry point in light of the fact that it does a better job of establishing Royce and Hadrian as distinct characters although the story is only tangentially related to the main plot of the series with the focus of this
All the stars *****Royce and Hadrian are my favorite duo in the fantasy world. I say this without any trace of doubt at all. MJS could write 30 books about these two unlikely Heroes and I would happily devour them with glee. And after reading The Crown Tower, this installment will take it's rightful place on my favorites shelf.Michael J. Sullivan has a way of telling a story that just really connects with me. He doesn't make it complicated or try to do anything that hasn't been done before, but
