Commentary In Favor Of Books The Crown Conspiracy (The Riyria Revelations #1)

They killed the king. They pinned it on two men. They chose poorly.

There is no ancient evil to defeat, no orphan destined for greatness, just two guys in the wrong place at the wrong time. Royce Melborn, a skilled thief, and his mercenary partner, Hadrian Blackwater make a profitable living carrying out dangerous assignments for conspiring nobles until they become the unwitting scapegoats in a plot to murder the king. Sentenced to death, they have only one way out...and so begins this tale of treachery and adventure, sword fighting and magic, myth and legend.

Evaluation Out Of Books The Crown Conspiracy (The Riyria Revelations #1)

I so enjoyed this book..and it's all due to what it lacks!So much sword and sorcery fantasy these days feels like it has to be uber-descriptive. They remind me of the frozen turkeys that when you unthaw them just drain off water they have been 'plumped up' with. So it was with great pleasure that I read this book: Despite an evil plot to overthrow the throne, sinister manipulations, secret prisons,a bratty prince and princess, an uber-magician, and a tenacious dwarf, the book seemed as

A while ago I read The Viscount and the Witch which was really great. I really liked Royce and Hadrian, they made me laugh many times throughout that short story. Writing a good short story is quite a feat that only few authors have. The Crown Conspiracy was even better than I had expected. Royce and Hadrian are really great characters, they make a very interesting (and hilarious) team. While Hadrian is a righteous ex-soldier, Royce is a cynical thief with a devious mind, and these two guys make

Its those thieves, those damned thieves, the Earl of Chadwick called out as he ran after Braga. Theyre demons! Magicians! Evil mages! They are like smoke, appearing and disappearing at will.Hadrian and Royce are Riyria - professional thieves extraordinaire. They steal from the rich, and give to...the other rich...or whoever's rich enough to pay for the job - usually nobles who want special items from other nobles. And they say thieves have no honour!This is sword and sorcery - rogues and wizards

I have a problem with fantasy. I do like the genre, but I can't stand multi-volume epics with 900+ pages per volume. I don't like spending 25 pages in a cave or 150 pages fighting a battle. I don't need a six-page description of a tavern. I don't like struggling to figure out how a name is pronounced. Since the fantasy genre seems to be dominated by what I don't like, I tend to approach it with extreme caution. In my opinion, fantasy authors and publishers could take some lessons from Michael

Unexpectedly, I liked this one very much. Hadrian Blackwater and Royce Melborn, infamous Riyria thieves, find themselves framed for the murder of the king. Whoever had the bright idea to pick those two to pin the crime on ... was a moron of epic proportions. Royce and Hadrian stand not for such nonsense.Not a kind of epic fantasy I usually love. On the top of my epic fantasy list are authors like Steven Erikson and Mark Lawrence, with meatier writing ... and as for thieves and their masterful

A fast paced and entertaining story, set in a classic fantasy world. If you are looking for a quick, fun and relaxing read, this book is just perfect.

It has me very interested in continuing the story for sure. It is really a 3.75 stars, but at this stage I can't give it a 4. I am hoping, from reading all of my friends comments that the series develops well. I can see that happening. There has been some very nice character building (the narration on audio is excellent), but I really want to see a development of said characters now to push this story into the 4 star realm. Secondly, I want to see a bit more depth to the story, this did feel at
