I first heard about the Riyria Revelations from Jay on the CapturedInWords Youtube Channel in a video about books similar to the Mistborn series. It was honestly the blurb that got me to read it: "They killed the king. They Pinned it on two men. They chose poorly." I am a pretty slow reader, and I absolutely burned through this one. The story is exciting, the characters are phenomenal, there's so much to make speculations about before reading the next one ---- I've found a new favorite Fantasy series to reign beside Sanderson's and Tolkien's novels. I fell in love with our dynamic duo of Royce and Hadrian and can't wait to see how their story continues in Rise of Empire.
