Publisher's Summary

Michael J. Sullivan garnered critical raves and a massive readership for his Riyria Revelations series. The first book in his highly anticipated Riyria Chronicles series of prequels, The Crown Tower brings together warrior Hadrian Blackwater with thieving assassin Royce Melborn. The two form a less-than-friendly pairing, but the quest before them has a rare prize indeed, and if they can breach the supposedly impregnable walls of the Crown Tower, their names will be legend.

Good read

Finished the original three novels first, unnecessary, but I think gives more depth and love to the story.

All the feels

I’m fairly new to Audible. I listened to the last three books of this series not realizing that there was a vast history. I’m starting at the beginning, now. This was a great book with fabulous characters and an absolutely amazing narrator. I highly recommend it. Now I’m on to book two. ❤️

Fantastic

Michael J. Sullivan has managed to craft a world, characters and plot (throughout all of his books) that easily rival other fantasy giants like Game of Thrones and Lord of the Rings. His books are gripping and captivating throughout.

So Good

I have started the Riyria storyline with this novel. This book is so well written and I love the interaction between Royce and Hadrian. The narrator is excellent and moves effortlessly through the many characters. So don’t miss out on a book as good as the Game of Thrones.

Brilliant

Captivating…. Fast paced. Great characters. Narration is great and voices match the personalities of the characters. Just an all around wonderful experience.

Great book, as expected from Sullivan and Reynolds

Very enjoyable even though the main story is pretty much known from the other series

Enjoyable adventure fair

Tim Gerard Reynolds delivers his usual excellent performance in this interesting fantasy adventure fair.

This installment introduces us to two very different characters and leaves you wanting to know where the path they have been set in will end.

Ended Too Soon

Definitely loved this book. Pretty sure U already own The Rose and Thorn. Time to load it onto my phone. While the story does end in a sufficient completion I want to know more.

A Great Origins Story!

I use Audible while I'm driving to pass the time and keep me awake and found myself adding an extra 5-10 minutes to my trips just to listen to a little more of this book. Looking forward to digging into the next one!!
