Some unexpected things are happening and a university professor appears to be behind them all. Professor Arcadius has brought together a fighter without equal and an incredibly skilled thief. The two are polar opposites and hate one another, but Arcadius has managed to convince them to do one job for him. To steal a single book from a seemingly impregnable fortress.The Crown Tower could easily have been titled how Hadrian met Royce. Michael J. Sullivan made a good point in saying that HadrianLoved reading about Royce and Hadrian getting to know each other! RTC
The book is a prequel to Riyria Revelations. Basically it is a story of how Hadrian and Royce met and the reason they became known as Riyria (which means two in Elven). There were quite a few bits of information regarding early Riyria history in Riyria Revelations, so readers familiar with it will not find great surprises in the overall plot. The subplots are different matter though. In the first chapter of the book Hadrian came back to civilized lands from south where he fought gladiator
All the stars *****Royce and Hadrian are my favorite duo in the fantasy world. I say this without any trace of doubt at all. MJS could write 30 books about these two unlikely Heroes and I would happily devour them with glee. And after reading The Crown Tower, this installment will take it's rightful place on my favorites shelf.Michael J. Sullivan has a way of telling a story that just really connects with me.

A great BR with amazing GR dwellers, Craig and Alex :) "All I wanted was to liveId forgotten everything else. A clod of dirt doesnt have dreams. A bit of broken stone doesnt understand hope.

Sullivans Riyria Revelations series already, youll know that
3.5 StarsThe Crown Tower is a prequel of sorts to the Riyria Revelations series. We get to see how Hadrian Blackwater and Royce Melborn become the unlikeliest of partners. Anyone who loved The Riyria Revelations series will love the chance to see how the best bromance in the business first came to be. The author includes a note stating that while Revelations was published first, the Riyria Chronicles (of which The Crown Tower is the first book) can be read either as standalone, read before
Each killing steals a bit of humanity until a murderer is nothing more than an animal. A hunger replaces the spirit. A want for what was lost, but as with innocence, the soul can never be replaced." 3.5 Stars: ✰✰✰½ I was initially torn on whether or not I wanted to read the Riyria Chronicles, simply because the Riyria Revelations had such a perfectly complete ending. After waiting a few months, I saw the first two books on an Audible sale and figured I might as well pick them up, because
