When the last member of the oldest noble family in Avryn is targeted for assassination, Riyria is hired to foil the plot. Three years have passed since the war-weary mercenary Hadrian and the cynical ex-assassin Royce joined forces to start life as rogues-for-hire. Things have gone well enough until they're asked to help prevent a murder. Now they must venture into an ancient corner of the world to save a mysterious woman who knows more about Royce than is safe and cares less about herself than is sane.Kindle Edition, 1 edition, 432 pages

My thoughts:
All I could think about was how I could not remember how the Heir of Novron ended! I remember..no, I can't. I need to re-read. SO yes I know these take place before that. But I have forgotten things so this one revelation was all, I did not remember all of that. I knew about Royce, but the rest was lost in time.
Anyway. Royce and Hadrian are hired to protect...well sort of...the Lady of Dulgath. I do feel like this one can be read on it's own. He creates a nice tale that makes you want more, but you also feel fine just jumping in. I only wanted more since I know something happened at the end of Novron but that is years ahead of this story.
Royce is awesome, I love him.
Hadrian is more the happy shiny people person. Yes you are a nice friend Hadrian, but Royce ;)
So they have an adventure. Get into trouble and on to new adventures! A good story, and I need more! I still have not read the series taking place 3000 years in the past ;)
Good fantasy
That's good that you could catch up to speed even if you didn't remember things.
ReplyDeleteFor What It's Worth
Well it is a prequel so I do not need to remember things ;)
DeleteSeems this was a good one, it is always a worry going in when you feel you don't remember but as you say a prequel and satisfying so what more could a reader want.

DeleteI've had that happen before. I've forgotten how things ended in the last book but caught up.
ReplyDeleteWell this is a prequel so it is just me wondering how it all ended in the end
DeleteHate when it's been awhile and I forgot the previous book :(
ReplyDeleteI do hate that. Luckily this just made me want to re-read the series that comes after this one, the series I forgot
Deleteit sounds good and I love dark fantasy. Thanks Blodeuedd
ReplyDeleteI would not exactly call this dark, quite the opposite
DeleteIt is good you were able to follow despite not remembering things from the Heir of Novron.
ReplyDeleteI really should have made it clearer. That book takes place After this book. THis is a prequel
DeleteAdventures with Royce and Hadrian are always a lot of fun. The next one in the Chronicle is coming out real soon, I can't wait! I like these prequel/stand alones :)

So fun :D I need to read them all
Deleteit looks like a good one again! I get you about not remembering!
ReplyDeleteTotes
DeleteI always hate when I can't remember what I read in the earlier books - because even if the author does a great job writing the book, it always bugs me I can't remember.
ReplyDeleteI would not have had the prob if the prequel had not come afterwards, lol
DeleteThat is why I like re-reading!
ReplyDeleteOh yes :D
DeleteI haven't heard of this series but it sounds great!
