How is it possible for a person to be both this happy and this sad, all at the same time?

I'm happy because this ending was spectacular. Simply perfect. Everything the ending to this wonderful series needed to be. Everything was resolved, including some plot points that had escaped me originally. (And one major plot point that left me going, how did I not see that coming.)

What I actually found the most wonderful about the resolutions in this story, was how no one was left hanging. You knew what all the characters were going to be doing after the end of the story - which is something I love. I just hate it when I invest a lot of time in a series, and then it's like they just yank the curtain closed and you nothing about what happens next.

Now I will note, as I mentioned in my synopsis, not everyone will live through this book. Which, I really didn't expect them to - not after the last book. So, it didn't come as any surprise when several people died, however, I was a little surprised at who was killed and how.

There were also a couple of very nice plot twists.

So, even though I loved this book and pretty much everything about this series, I will miss these people - which is where the aforementioned sadness comes in. (Yes, I know there is a prequel series, and I will buy it, but it's not quite the same as new adventures.)

This final volume in the Riyria Revelations series really feels like the end of an era. Nothing will be the same again - though it's up to you to decide if that's a good thing or a bad thing. So many things change in this book and, really, I am hoping for a sequel series - set many, many years down the line. (I think if you read the book, you'll understand why.)

Изпитвам облекчение, че Откровенията на Ририя са зад гърба ми. Не ми доставяше удоволствие да чета последните две - беше някаква необходимост, за да стигна до края. Това не е правилната причина да се чете фентъзи. Имаше интересни детайли, които направиха четенето и финала приятен, но като цяло можех и да си спестя #5 и #6.

Percepliquis was a phenomenal ending to a fantastic sereies. With everything ramped up to eleven, book 6 of the Riyira Revelations has the same intensity as Wintertide with the added bonus of all of my questions being answered. Leaving this as one of the most satisfying conclusions I've ever read.

Once again Sullivan does not disappoint!

Being the last book in the series, reading Percepliquis was a little bitter sweet for me. However, the finishing the last page of the saga was rewarding and satisfying.

The tone of this book was a little darker than the others and you could tell just what was at stake. There were several instances that really suprised me (no spoiers here!), and parts that made me put the book down and think "Wow". Love it when a book makes me do that.

Still, Sullivan makes it so that even though this is the last book in a well-written saga, it can still stand on its own. This was good because it had been a while since I had read the earlier books and had forgotten a lot that had happened, however I was not lost and was able to jump right back in without having to go back and skim the earlier novels. The important plot developments from those books were mentioned when they were needed and half the book was not re-telling the same story.

Great book, and while I am sad to have to say bye to Royce and Haridian and all the rest, I know I will more than likely reread the whole series soon.

Excellent conclusion to a very well planned, strongly executed multi-part fantasy series. Very satisfying.

A beautiful & very satisfying conclusion to a fantastic series - definitely a new all-time favorite of mine that I can see myself rereading over and over again!!

What started out as a quick & entertaining read grew into something bigger, something with real depth and a lot of emotions. I didn't expect to get attached to the characters the way I did, but some of them, especially Royce & Hadrian ofc, have firmly secured a place in my heart. It was great to finally see all the characters come together here. And while some reveals may have been predictable, it didn't matter and didn't take away from my enjoyment at all. I just loved watching the plot unfold and being along for the ride.

I can't believe the journey is over ... but I'm very, very excited for the other books in this world!!

one of the best fantasy series I've read recently. likable characters, interesting mythos and politics. a constantly unfolding plot. I recommend it to anyone who thinks those things sound interesting. LOVED it.

This book was a great closing on my journey with Hadrian and Royce. I found myself constantly wanting to continue going to find out if and how they were going to survive. The characters that we lost broke my heart, and yet, due to the knowledge from the Age of the First Empire, I know they will find peace. Honestly, I think Gaunt was perfect I kept wanting someone to punch him in the face, and when it did I was like, do it again lol. But that ending, I do hope I get to see Royce and Hadrian again even if just a short story about their life after this book rebuilding the world.
