![]() ![]() It means that by design the first book is the weakest of the set, but enables me to end it with a resounding bang." And he absolutely did. ![]() This was a purposeful decision and a dangerous one. ![]() As the series progresses, I think you'll see more depth both in the world of Elan and the characters. To quote from the author himself about this series: "The Riyria Revelations, especially in the beginning, is little more than fast-paced light fantasy. By the time I got to the end of all three audio books I was hoping to find more by this author. Which, in my opinion, is more than we're getting from a lot of fantasy writers of late. It's nothing revolutionary, just solid writing with fun characters and an enjoyable storyline. HOWEVER - in the second book, the story really hits it's stride. I didn't really care about the characters and it seemed like a pretty cookie cutter sword and sorcery. It's not bad, it's just not something that would inspire me to listen to 5 more books. If I'd listened to just the first book, I may not have continued. Which is good choice on the part of the audio publishers. It says it in the description, but in case you missed it - this audio is two books combined into one audiobook. ![]() If there were a way, I'd have given the story 3.5 stars. ![]()
