I read the first half of this book originally and quite enjoyed it but then decided to take a break before continue onto the second half which then turned into probably about a decade of time for me to forget all the things. In my determination to finish series I have started (or decidedly discontinue them) I pick this back up and I think I appreciate it more than I did the first go around.
There are so quibbles I have with the misogyny, sexism, classism, otherisms, etc. but it is appropriate to the setting so I don't find myself deterred from the series because of it.

Having read a more recent release by Michael J. Sullivan first, I was unsure how I would like his earlier books.
However, when I started to listen to Theft of Swords I got so quickly absorbed into the world and the events, in the end, I blasted through this bind up that holds the first two books in the Riyria Revelations..
It was entertaining, scary, amazing and it holds such an amazing bunch of characters. Yes, I would say, Theft of Swords is that good.
Thank you for writing these books, Michael J. Sullivan.
And Tim Gerard Reynolds does an amazing job with narrating. It is a treat to listen to the audiobook.
