Full review on my blog!

Okay, it is really hard to write this review without spoilers, but I’m gonna try!
In the final book in the Riyria Revelations series our heroes go on an adventure. The ancient lost city is to be discovered. Since this is the last novel, naturally there is a good amount of surprises and we learn the answers to all the questions I’d been asking for the past instalments.

There are a lot of things I had suspected and I had nailed it with all those suspicions. However, there were also plenty of things coming out of left field! I had put a lot of thought into how this would end and what revelations we’d get but Sullivan still managed to catch me unawares on some fronts.

I love that we got to spend more time with almost all the characters I’ve grown to appreciate over the last books. Just look how far they’ve all come, I’m so proud of them! Sullivan did great in the character development department. This is honestly one of my favorite series I ever read in this regard.

The story is also extremely well-written and Sullivan keeps you on your toes throughout all the books. The world-building is impeccable and with the final book he reveals a lot more about the world he created. I’m usually the first to complain when there is a hole in a author’s logic, but he also did great in that department. Whenever there is a slower moment in the book, you can tell it is because he’s setting up for something bigger. So even slow moments just make you want to read more asap!

Moreover, he managed to conclude everything satisfyingly. Sure, there were things along the story that broke my heart but ultimately everthing that happened had to happen. I just enjoyed everything about these books. But my favorite thing was probably the bromance between Hadrian and Royce. You have no idea how excited I am about the prequel series! All those interesting heists that were mentioned throughout the series? Well, we finally get to read about them!
