Theft of Swords

"In terms of release timeline, Riyria Revelations came first though it's chronologically after Riyria Chronicles. I highly recommend starting here. Riyria consists of Royce and Hadrian, two unlikely partners who are the most famous thieves in the world. Adventures abound! "

"I'm a little ashamed. I listen to this audiobook with my husband and could not pay attention. The narrator is wonderful. Tim Gerard Reynolds also narrated Red Rising. The first time round I couldn't keep up with Red Rising either and the second time I loved it. So I think I will give this one another chance later on down the line. <br/><br/>The beginning was bewildering with all of the information that was brought forth. So many instances were long winded. Also written in third person which I find to be impersonal at times. Very plot driven. When I could lock on to what was happening I found that I enjoyed the two thieves and their companions. Though I would lose interest soon after. This honestly seemed like a good story I'm just not sure what the problem was. Maybe I wasn't in the mood for it. Possibly the third person aspect or could have been all the information I was drowning in. Even so I would like to try again sometime."

"The main characters are also pretty funny. I've just started reading it. I definitely highly recommend!"

"This was very fun"

"As I said in my review of [b:The Crown Tower|16043804|The Crown Tower (The Riyria Chronicles #1)|Michael J. Sullivan|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1375570227s/16043804.jpg|21821161], the Riyria series seems a lot like a less-good version of [b:The Lies of Locke Lamora|127455|The Lies of Locke Lamora (Gentleman Bastard, #1)|Scott Lynch|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1386924569s/127455.jpg|2116675]. Theft of Swords is entertaining but feels a bit clumsy and I'm not getting drawn into the story nearly as much as with Lynch's work."

"A delightful read. The main characters reminded me a little of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern from Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead. It's the dynamic of there relationship and how they are being used in the beginning of the series. I think that will change though."

"Royce and Hadrian are the best Best Friends I've ever read. I live their dynamic-- the simple brotherly love and care, the exasperation with each other's foibles-- beautiful. And two adventures for the price of one in every book in this series! One of the best crafted fantasy books of our time. Everyone should give the Riyria Revelations a try at least once."

"It's so good"

"Not reading as much lately but I really enjoy the kingkiller chronicles "

"Royce and Hadrian are like Fantasy Tag Team partners. Super fun characters "
