Welcome to Litsy!

I enjoyed more of Royce & Hadrian‘s adventures. This is book 3 & 4 in the Riyria Revelations series. Of these two stories, 3 was much stronger and continued the overarching storyline. Book 4 was a little more random and disjointed, but still fun - because pirates. I would give book 3 4.5⭐️ and book 4 3.5⭐️ for an average of 4⭐️ for the volume.

So I finished Theft of Swords and asked my brother if he'd get me the next book and he was like yeah OK and gifted it to me like in 2 min! That's how much he loves this series, let's see if his recommendation holds up #teamharkness #scarathlon2020

I fell in love with the author's pleasant yet thrilling writing style almost immediately. I know I want to buy every single book he ever published. The Rise of the Empire is a continuation of the Riyria series and it didn't disappoint me one bit. The characters are funny and their remarks toward each other are priceless. The story broke my heart in places but wouldn't want it any other way.

Rain, books, coffee, & my snuggle buddies....sounds like a perfect morning to me!!

When the cat falls asleep on your physical book (that's what I get for looking up something on my phone) so you have switch over to your ebook instead. She is lucky she is so cute.
Physical book: The Rook
Ebook: Rise of Empire

I put this series down for awhile after devouring Theft of Swords and I honestly can't remember why. Diving back in again and I am quickly reminded again how much I love Hadrian and Royce.

"You're awfully quiet," Hadrian said.
"I'm trying to figure this out," Royce replied.
"Figure it out?" Hadrian laughed. "We're hanging chained to a wall, awaiting execution. There's not that much to it."

The more I read the more I realize that as much as I love super serious epic fantasy stories, I love the ones with lots of snarky humor even more! ? Royce and Hadrian are such great characters, and they really make this series just fantastic! ?

Chaplin stole my reading blanket. 😂😸💕📚 #catsoflitsy #littenkitten

Another cold and rainy Sunday afternoon. Wonderful books, warm blankets, and endless cups of tea make great company on such a day! 🌬💕📚 I'm going to try and finish the tagged book today!

Took a break from the endless pile of schoolwork to take a walk with my book and enjoy the warm sunshine! 🌿🌾💕📚

So apparently today is #BookLoversDay. I've never heard of it before but that's ok. So this is my current read. :) #Books #Reading #Riyria #Royce #Hadrian #Thieves #EveryDayIsBookLoversDay

Meant to order the original 3 Riyria books & ended up with 6 in the series instead. Looks like I get to spend lots more time with Hadrian & Royce. Gotta love happy little accidents.

Only a few pages in and loving this book already!

I finally finished Rise of Empire!!! And I loved it! I didn't not see the twist at the very end coming. I love Royce and Hadrian more and more with each book.

Heir of Novron is on my tbr for November. I need a break from 800 pages fantasies for a little while.

On the way back home after seeing Hamilton the Musical! Only 152 pages left in Rise of Empire! I feel like I've finally made progress with this book!

? "Look at where we are. Look at where we started. The fact that there's less than 200 pages left is a miracle! " ?

I've finally made it to book 4 in Volume 2 of the Riyria Revelations. It took me a month to read book 3 because I fell into a terrible reading slump. Here's hoping it won't take me that long to read Emerald Storm.

Also, I love my Haunted Mansion bookmark that I received from Spearcraft. 👻

Another good one. I was put off a bit by the fact that all of the uncivilized, monstrous people encountered in the east in this book are dark skinned, while the civilized, western people are light skinned. Arista's "love life," for lack of a better word, was annoying and I felt like it was rather unnecessary. But overall, this was a pretty good book with some good twists and turns along the way

I'll be starting this tomorrow on my lunch break. So many good books lately, I can't get through them fast enough

Trying to finish this chunker before I go back to teaching. I love a good, ol' medieval fantasy and the fatter the book the better! What are you currently reading?

I think I've got my choices narrowed down to these. I can listen to the Peters at work because I've already read it, so I'm leaning towards that one.

#bookmail I got book 2 first and my OCD is dyinnnnng!!!!!! 🌤❤️🐶 I've said it on here before, but I can't recommend these books enough!!!! I've had friends who don't even enjoy epic fantasy read them, and fall in love with them too!

First this book makes me like a character and then it takes the character away. Mean book is mean 😭

But...but he can't be dead!

I don't care where the obvious clues are leading that person is not the heir. Not sure how things got mixed up...but they have.

I was going to listen to another audio before continuing with this series. I lasted all of a day which is my usual time between audios where I listen to music to pallet cleanse the brain for a new book. When it came time to pick my next book I found I couldn't stay away from Royce and Hadrian.

I can't tell you how much I love this world and these characters. It was near impossible to turn off the audiobook. And crap--the book ends on one cliffhanger and a twist. Grrrr. I won't have time to listen to book 3 for a few weeks. If you like epic fantasy pick up this series. Narrator Tim Gerard Reynolds does a great job with characters, pacing, tension, humor. 💕💕(photo: just one place I walked while listening to #audiobook )

Started this last night. Can I just listen solidly all the way through? I'm so totally taken by these characters and this world. #audiobooks

I've had cats lay directly on my book, but that's less distracting than my puppy who wines as I read.

Riyria Chronicles and Revelations, omg read these books! the cover art is great, the characters are personable and lovable and it's just so much fun to read. Heir of Novron is my favorite.
