Full review on my blog!

Okay, it is really hard to write this review without spoilers, but I’m gonna try!
In the final book in the Riyria Revelations series our heroes go on an adventure. The ancient lost city is to be discovered. Since this is the last novel, naturally there is a good amount of surprises and we learn the answers to all the questions I’d been asking for the past instalments.

There are a lot of things I had suspected and I had nailed it with all those suspicions. However, there were also plenty of things coming out of left field! I had put a lot of thought into how this would end and what revelations we’d get but Sullivan still managed to catch me unawares on some fronts.

I love that we got to spend more time with almost all the characters I’ve grown to appreciate over the last books. Just look how far they’ve all come, I’m so proud of them! Sullivan did great in the character development department. This is honestly one of my favorite series I ever read in this regard.

The story is also extremely well-written and Sullivan keeps you on your toes throughout all the books. The world-building is impeccable and with the final book he reveals a lot more about the world he created. I’m usually the first to complain when there is a hole in a author’s logic, but he also did great in that department. Whenever there is a slower moment in the book, you can tell it is because he’s setting up for something bigger. So even slow moments just make you want to read more asap!

Moreover, he managed to conclude everything satisfyingly. Sure, there were things along the story that broke my heart but ultimately everthing that happened had to happen. I just enjoyed everything about these books. But my favorite thing was probably the bromance between Hadrian and Royce. You have no idea how excited I am about the prequel series! All those interesting heists that were mentioned throughout the series? Well, we finally get to read about them!

I binged this last book.
I really enjoyed the characters and the story was fun.
Im looking forward to finishing to the entire series.

I've been thinking about what I should write since I finished this series yesterday, but most of what I would say might spoil the story.

So I'll leave it at this. I started out liking this series, I grew to love it as the books went on and as I'm finishing it, I'm really in love with this series and its characters, who have come to mean something to me. The ending was perfect. This is officially one of my all time favorite series. It's difficult to suprise me in a book, so I loved the fact that there were some suprising elements at the end.

I'm so happy that there are more books about Royce and Hadrian. Love their friendship and I'm not ready to say goodbye yet.

This series delivers from beginning to end. One of my new favourite high-fantasy series.

7.8 - Good

Overall, a satisfying ending to the series, my second favorite overall. There is a lot that was predictable, but the characters really became very good by the end, and everyone received a satisfying ending, whether it was happy or sad. There were sufficient stakes throughout, and I was never bored, though I also wouldn't call any part of the story fantastic. Overall, this story definitely scratches an itch for those who miss classic fantasy, while intermixing some more modern advancements in fantasy-telling. I personally am just not that huge of a fan of classic fantasy, so while I enjoyed the series overall, it was never the kind of story I will love.

I love this book!! The series started slow. I felt the first book was good, but didn't make me excited about the series, but the series quickly picked up speed. It is everything I love about fantasy and I would highly recommend it to anyone who likes this genre. I am disappointed to see an end to the series as I have fallen in love with the characters but looking forward to the Riyria Chronicles.

I haven't been so sad about a series ending in a long time. They had me at book 1. Enjoyed every character, even the secondary characters. So many twists. Just so good.

Perfect ending with interesting twists. The series didn't have to be this long, but it didn't feel stretched out, either. This epic is worth the adventure!

This was quite literally perfection.
