A review by telamcgrupp
Age of Swords by Michael J. Sullivan

3.0

First and foremost: This was tough to get through and I kept losing my interest. That is the first time it has ever happened in a book by Sullivan and this is the only series of his I haven't yet read. I put it down so many times. The tone of the story seemed to change so much from the first in this series, although the ending was absolutely perfect and set up the next book nicely! My favorite characters are still Suri, Persephone, and surprisingly enough, Mawyndule. I feel like Mawyndule is going to have so much depth in later novels.

But, the tone, the pacing - it just put a sour taste in my mouth. It felt a little packed with filler and less filled with story progression until the last 8 chapters.

The prose was on point for a Sullivan book though and I will continue the series....eventually.
