I enjoyed rerurning to this beautifully crafted world. I missed Royce and Hadrian quite a lot and seeing how they met felt like looking at a precious gem. Both protagonists are true to themselves, being younger, less experienced versions of themselves. Also, read the author's not at the beginning of the book, it is hilarious!

"Hadrian paused to knock. Royce walked in. An elderly man seated at a weathered table and a woman working near the hearth started at his appearance.
'Don't move or you'll die,' Royce said, struggling to stand upright and gritting his teeth to manage it. . . .
Hadrian followed him in. 'Sorry about the intrusion'

Going back in time, reading how Royce, Hadrian, and Gwen ended up together. Less than half the length of each book from the original trilogy, I'm counting on getting through this fairly quickly. I have a book coming in the mail this week that I can't wait to dive into.

You'd think that hear bits and pieces of how Royce & Hadrian met over the 3 lengthy books in the Riyria Revelations that this would be a boring & predictable read. But you'd be wrong. Just as interesting, if not more so than if you nothing of their history. Loved this origin story & looking forward to book 2!!

Irisheyz77 Again I heap thanks on @BethFishReads for introducing me to this series 😍 7y
BethFishReads Sooooo happy you gave it a shot. Nothing but 💕💕💕💕for these books 7y

Oooohhhh I so love these guys. My newest, deepest book crushes. First book of the second series done. If you have even a tiny interest in fantasy read -- or better yet -- listen to the Michael J Sullivan books. 💕💕💕💕💕💕

pppooraikul Ooh. I have my eyes on these books. Good to hear they're great! 😁 7y
BethFishReads @pppooraikul the first one has a few cliches but then the story and the universe and the characters just take off. I love these characters. 7y

Prepping asparagus, drinking wine and listening to more adventures with my new favorite guys. Just started today, but I already love learning how Hadrian & Royce meet and team up. If you pick this up in print or audio don't miss the author's introduction. Worth the read.
